Manitobans will have free access to provincial parks next week in honour of Canada’s Parks Day.

That means vehicle permits will not be required to enter provincial parks from July 10-16, though overnight camping fees will still apply.

“For the third year in a row, our government is providing week-long free provincial park access to coincide with Canada’s Parks Day,” Natural Resources and Northern Development Minister Greg Nesbitt stated in a media release.

“This initiative allows all Manitobans to enjoy our parks’ extraordinary natural beauty, intriguing historical sites and diverse recreational activities.”

A list of free interpretive events taking place at provincial parks next week and other times of the year can be found online at gov.mb.ca/nrnd/parks/education-and-interpretation/event-listings.html.

Some campgrounds are arranging special events to take place on Parks Day, which is July 15.

Campers wanting to reserve a spot at a provincial park can visit manitobaparks.com or call 1-888-482-2267.
