As campers, hikers, bikers, boaters and fishing enthusiasts enjoy parks and wildlife this summer, the RCMP will be working to help keep everyone safe.
A few simple steps can go a long way to ensuring you enjoy your time in Manitoba’s abundant parks and waterways:
Boaters are reminded to have life jackets for everyone on board, safety equipment, boat licenses, fishing licenses (including a Federal Park Fishing License), and proper boating gear.
With many people on foot or cycling in parks and green space, RCMP advise motorists to slow down. Speed limits are posted within parks and recreational areas to accommodate the safety of all users.
Encounters with wildlife are common during Manitoba summers. Please be cautious when encountering wildlife. Do not feed the animals and do not stop on roadways and impede traffic to observe wildlife.
