Despite fires, Saskatchewan parks open for the camping, fishing season
The May long weekend is here, signalling the start of the summer parks and camping season across Saskatchewan.
Officially known as Victoria Day, residents can enjoy an extra day in the sun due the statutory holiday Monday. The forecast in the Prince Albert region is calling for warm weather throughout the weekend.
As the summer season kicks off, staff at Saskatchewan’s regional and provincial parks, along with the Prince Albert National Park, are getting set to welcome more visitors and tourists to the province. Provincial parks across Saskatchewan officially opened Thursday, and feature a range of activities and events throughout the summer for visitors to enjoy. Activities at provincial parks include a Learn to Camp program, Learn to Fish, interpretive events and more.
As in past years, alcohol is banned at all provincial parks in Saskatchewan during the long weekend. Campfires are also prohibited at many parks due to the dry weather.
