Manitoba will be waiving provincial park access fees for one week beginning on Monday, July 12, 2021.

Vehicle permits will not be needed between July 12 and July 18 to enter the parks but overnight camping fees will still apply.

“We have been listening to how much Manitobans love their provincial parks and when the idea was raised by members of the public to expand the free access, we enthusiastically embraced it,” said Conservation and Climate Minister Sarah Guillemard. “All Manitobans should have the opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors and we are pleased to offer free park entry for a full week this summer.”

The minister noted that COVID-19 public health orders must still be followed in the provincial parks. Information on COVID-19 restrictions at provincial parks is available at www.manitobaparks.com
