Up to $110 million dollars could be announced to expand high-demand camp sights.
Demand for campsites that feature cabins and yurts has been in increasingly high demand and Manitoba's Minister of Natural Resources Greg Nesbitt looks to announce a 10-year plan that could address the well-needed growth.
A government-commissioned report was completed in December to get a grasp of the scale of growth needed. The report recommended more camping opportunities, including the luxury camping options of yurts and cabins.
Nesbitt also noted that while fees will not increase initially, some raises in the future could be likely.
The official announcement of the year's capital plan for parks, including new yurts, is scheduled to come before the May long weekend.
Public consultation on longer-term plans to improve parks across the province is slated to start later this year.
