The province is once again offering free entry to all provincial parks on Labour Day weekend.
“Free park entry weekends provide an opportunity for all Manitobans to make the trip into one of our beautiful provincial parks and take a moment to enjoy nature,” Sustainable Development Minister Rochelle Squires said.
Vehicle permits will not be required to enter provincial parks between Friday, August 31 and Monday, September 3, 2018.
Camping fees will still be required if you are hoping to stay overnight.
A number of provincial parks will also be providing special interpretive programming during the weekend including:
• amphitheatre presentations at Birds Hill Provincial Park on Manitoba wild cats and how to ‘Be Bear Smart’;
• a guided night hike to discover the boreal forest after dark at Grand Beach Provincial Park;
• a skink safari, searching for the endangered northern prairie skink in the Spruce Woods Provincial Park; and
• opportunities to view wildlife and the start of the fall migration up close at the Alfred Hole Goose Sanctuary in Whiteshell Provincial Park.
