During Victoria Day Long Weekend, you should keep in mind that visitor services and vehicle access at Riding Mountain National Park are still suspended.
All services and facilities such as washrooms, the playground, beaches, parking lots, and picnic shelters remain closed. All events, group and interpretive activities remain suspended until further notice. As well, boating and fishing are prohibited in all national park waters until further notice.
On Thursday, Canada’s Environment Minister Jonathan Wilkinson revealed Canada's 38 parks and 171 historic sites 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.
Camping is still off limits until at least June 21 — at which point the government will reassess whether to move forward with reopening camping services.
Riding Mountain National Park officials say more information about the June 1st resumption plans will be announced next week.
