Looking for somewhere to belt out your Canadian patriotism on July 1? A handful of local Canada Day celebrations are planned across Winnipeg. Wherever you decide to celebrate, there’s something for everyone.
Here are a few options to help you navigate Canada’s birthday bash.
WINNIPEG — The Assiniboine Park Conservancy has eliminated the use of plastic straws and bags inside its park and zoo.
APC says the move is being made as part of its commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship.
WINNIPEG — The sports fields at Assiniboine Park have received a $125,000 injection after a donation from the Co-op Community Spaces Program.
The fields are primarily used for soccer, cricket and ultimate Frisbee in the summer and cross-country skiing in the winter.
The Assiniboine Park’s trolley will begin providing free transportation at The Forks on Saturday.
Park and zoo visitors can hop on the trolley to head downtown, catching a ride at multiple locations throughout the park.
WINNIPEG — There’s always a few stragglers who can’t seem to find their way home from the Teddy Bears’ Picnic.
Sunday’s 32nd annual picnic at Assiniboine Park attracted more than 40,000 people, but some of its stuffed guests were left behind.
WINNIPEG — Canada Day at Assiniboine Park will have more of a family feeling this year as revellers head home hours before the sun sets.
The Assiniboine Park Conservancy says longtime sponsor Canad Inns has bowed out of Canada Day programming for 2018 after the culmination of Canada’s 150th birthday last year.
The Assiniboine Park Conservancy is recruiting volunteers for the busy summer season, looking to fill roles at a variety of locations across the park and zoo.
About 150 volunteers are needed, with at least half of those going to youth aged 14 to 19.
WINNIPEG — A staple of Assiniboine Park will close for good in the spring.
The Conservatory’s closure will make way for the third and final phase of Canada’s Diversity Gardens, a $75 million project scheduled to open in late 2019.
