The province is once again offering FREE entry to provincial parks during the entire month of February, 2018. Manitobans are encouraged to take advantage of all the activities available in the great outdoors at provincial parks.
“Manitobans love the great outdoors and our parks are just as beautiful at this time of year as they are in the warmer months,” Sustainable Development Minister Rochelle Squires said. “We encourage everyone to take advantage of the activities and the scenery our parks have to offer.”
Highlight of events for the month of February include:
- a cross-country ski clinic in Birds Hill Provincial Park on Sunday, Feb. 4;
