One of Winnipeg’s most popular attractions can open its doors to visitors again — with some restrictions.

The Assiniboine Park Zoo said Friday that it received an email from public health indicating that it would be able to reopen — for the first time since mid-November — now that pandemic restrictions have been somewhat loosened in Manitoba.

A provincial spokesperson said under the current public health orders, the zoo can open, but with limited capacity. They would not, however, be able to host any large scale events.
