Parks Day celebrations returned to Winagami Lake Provincial Park July 20 with many activities for visitors to enjoy. A delicious cake, a guessing game, scavenger hunt, hotdogs and drinks, and a dip in the wading pool were all part of the fun. From an educational point of view, various furs were displayed for viewers to see as well as education on proper use of lands and parks. Giveaways on the latter will remind people of the proper rules when visiting next time.
