The partial reopening of national parks will be a welcomed change for many of us in the Parkland.

Starting on June 1st, Parks Canada will gradually restore some services; allowing day use of trails and some outdoor spaces.

By June 21st, we could see campgrounds reopen in Riding Mountain National Park (RMNP), as long as Parks Canada deems it safe to proceed at that time.

As Manitoba’s provincial parks have already been cleared to reopen, the decision to keep RMNP closed has drawn a fair bit of criticism.

Businesses in Wasagaming have taken a big hit to start the season — with many finding it difficult to encourage guests to visit while the national park’s coveted green spaces and trails are closed to the public.

The federal government made the decision to close national parks in March, to help slow the spread of COVID-19.

Parks Canada officials are expected to release more details about the June 1st reopening plan in the coming days. You can find the latest updates from park officials here.
