Officials with the federal government say they’re ready to gradually re-open national parks.
The sites have been closed since mid-March to help slow the spread of COVID-19.
Canada’s Environment Minister Jonathan Wilkinson says our national parks will soon be restarting some operations.
Beginning June 1st, some trails, day use areas, green spaces and recreational boating will be available at national parks, historic sites and waterways, and national marine conservation areas.
For an update on camping resuming in our national parks — you’ll have to wait until at least June 21 — when the government says they will reassess whether to move forward with reopening campsites.
What does this mean for Riding Mountain National Park? Park officials will be sharing more information about resumption plans next week.
