Provincial parks season officially begins on May long weekend
With spring underway and summer a month away, people all across the province are getting ready to return to Saskatchewan Provincial Parks.
The May long weekend is the kickoff of the 2016 season as Saskatchewan Provincial Parks will be open on Thursday, May 19. This year’s opening comes after a record 2015 season where nearly 3,900,000 people visited the parks.
Director of Visitor Experiences for Saskatchewan Provincial Parks Mary-Anne Wihak said the upcoming May holiday has eager outdoorsmen and women chomping at the bit.
“The May long weekend is always a really special time for our campers. We have quite a hearty bunch of regulars who can’t wait for that first big kickoff of the season,” Wihak said. “Sort of a rite of passage as far as spring is concerned.”
