Outdoors enthusiasts will be delighted to learn that Provincial Parks Access will be free for 2025, as announced in the 2025 budget.
Starting April 1 of this year, Provincial Parks will not require a pass to visit, though camping site fees will still be in place for rented camping sites.
Previously, the provincial Government contracted out to an American company to design park passes for distribution in Canadian stores.
When the first round of U.S. tariffs was about to hit on Feb. 4, Premier Wab Kinew singled out Manitoba’s “terrible contract” with Aspira, an outdoor recreation software company headquartered in Dallas.
According to statements in the Budget, this move looks to inspire more Manitobans, and Canadians across the board, to enjoy what our provincial Parks have to offer.
