After a year that was anything but normal, Dauphin residents are looking forward to what could potentially be a summer of at least some normality.
With provincial health orders still in effect, people are doing what they can to enjoy this summer.
730 CKDM spoke with several Dauphinites, and many are taking advantage of what the province has to offer.
Betty plans to go to the beach.
“We’re hanging out at Rainbow Beach because we have a seasonal there all summer.”
Holly is looking to do some gardening.
“We’ve got a big garden, we’ve flowerbeds, we’ve got everything.”
Colton plans to go to Winnipeg.
“Probably hit The Forks, go to Grand Beach.”
Though most people are planning to travel within Manitoba, some people are travelling out of province, like Lynda.
“I’m going away to B.C. for holidays.”
For those travelling within Manitoba, Provincial parks will be free next week, from July 12th to the 18th.
Vehicle permits will not be required at any provincial park, but overnight camping fees will continue to apply.
