Everyone is anxiously awaiting the arrival of summer and the parks are no different.
Riding Mountain National Park has been busy getting ready for May long weekend.
Cal Martin, Acting Visitor Experience Manager, tells us there’ll be a change this year to get into the park.
“Well there’s a big change for this year, in that we’re starting to charge admission fees again, after last, being free all year long for Canada 150. However, we are not charging fees for people 17 and under, so youth and children have free entry into the park”
Group and family passes have been reduced by 20 per cent.
Also in preparations for the season, they’ll be continuing on with construction work to Highway 10 north of the park.
This is phase five of a major infrastructure project for the park to improve the condition of the highway and they’re already getting positive feedback from what has been done so far.
