Manitoba's 92 protected provincial
park spaces are among the most
respected and popular destinations
for locals as well as visitors to our
province. Every year, the opportunity
to reserve a campsite in Manitoba is
met with a wave of excitement, but
spots are gone in short order.
Typically, the camping season starts in
early May and, in some cases, extends
until Thanksgiving. Extending the
annual operating season for Manitoba
Provincial Park campgrounds from
April 15 through Oct. 25 would
acknowledge and accommodate the
changing behaviour and preferences
of visitors to the province. It's a small
change that would contribute new
dollars to the provincial economy. If we
aren't open for business that market
will go elsewhere.
By failing to take advantage of the
possibilities an extra two months of
campsite availability would bring, the
majority of the parks are not supporting
the work that many, including Travel
Manitoba, are doing in marketing
ourselves as a four-season province. ■
