“Saskatchewan people love their parks,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Ken Cheveldayoff said in a statement.
“Whether it’s camping, fishing, relaxing on the beach or any of the other activities available, there is something for everyone in Saskatchewan Provincial Parks.”
There will be an alcohol ban at all provincial parks and recreation sites from May 18-22 inclusive, but cottages and commercial businesses in provincial parks are not affected.
The ban is also in place for some regional parks.
