Free Entry into Manitoba Parks this Weekend
Entry into all Manitoba Provincial Parks will be free this weekend, June 7th-9th. A fishing license is also not required on June 8th and 9th in all Manitoba provincial parks.
The break from usual park fees is meant to encourage Manitoban families to get out and enjoy the province's many natural resources. "I want Manitobans to take this opportunity to create wonderful memories with family and friends," said Conservation and Water Stewardship Minister Gord Mackintosh, "enjoying the beauty and bounty of our many lakes and rivers, and the wide range of outdoor activities available in our parks."
The free weekend may come as a relief to some Manitobans after the reinstatement of park entrance fees last year. Park permits once again become mandatory starting Monday, June 10th, costing $40 for one year.
