A contract to study and evaluate Manitoba’s provincial parks has been awarded by Travel Manitoba to Manitoba-based firm Meyers Norris Penny (MNP) in combination with HTFC Planning and Design and Prairie Research Associates.
The goal of the Travel Manitoba-funded study is to consider the current state of Manitoba’s provincial parks and to review all options for improved parks services, as well as to develop additional facilities and amenities. The review will also consider how other jurisdictions, provincially and nationally, manage parks and will provide options for revenue generation in order to sustain high-quality, public provincial parks. It will conclude with recommendations for the development of a new Manitoba provincial parks strategy.
The transparent review process will survey provincial park users, cottage owners, business owners who operate within the parks and special interest organizations.
The study is expected to conclude in the spring of 2021 with a report delivered to the minister from Travel Manitoba.
