The provincial government has announced $750,000 in funding for the Manitoba Camping Association. The money will go towards a COVID-19 economic recovery plan for eligible overnight camps throughout Manitoba.
Municipal Relations Minister Eileen Clarke made the announcement today. She pointed out the economic impact that closures and implementation of services under health measures, had on camps during the Pandemic. She also talked about the benefit these camps have.
“Manitoba children benefit from the exposure to the outdoors and the learning experiences overnight camps offer, and we recognize the importance of community-based organizations in building thriving and sustainable communities across the province"
