“Saskatchewan’s provincial parks are where people go to make memories and connect with family and friends,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Ken Cheveldayoff said.

“With countless activities, great amenities and a variety of programs, I invite everyone to enjoy their Canada Day in a Saskatchewan provincial park.”

People heading to provincial parks on either of the two days are being asked to stop at the park entry gate or park office to pick up a commemorative post card, which can be displayed as a vehicle entry permit for the day and then saved as a keepsake.

Along with the Canada 150 events, other activities taking place this summer at provincial parks include learn to camp, learn to fish and interpretive programs.
