    Who says nothing is free in life? In Manitoba something is this labour day weekend, admission to all provincial parks.

    Park vehicle permits are not required in provincial parks from Friday, Sept. 2 to Monday, Sept. 5, however, regular camping fees and entrance fees to national parks will still apply.  In addition to free entry at provincial parks there will be a variety of special interpretive programming this weekend such as:
    • backcountry caravan tour to the unique bowl-shaped valley of sand called the Hogsback in Spruce Woods Provincial Park;
    • guided tours of historic houses at St. Norbert Provincial Park; and
    • meeting wildlife ambassadors from the Wildlife Haven Rehabilitation Centre at Birds Hill Provincial Park.

    The Whiteshell Fish Hatchery is open on the long weekend, and the Alfred Hole Goose Sanctuary Visitor Centre in Whiteshell is open weekends through to Thanksgiving, offering unique viewing of Canada geese in fall migration.

    Several provincial park campsites, cabins and yurts remain open through the fall, allowing campers to stay as late as Thanksgiving.  Visit www.manitobaparks.com  for more information.
