Days of fun in the sun is something many people are looking forward to as the weather heats up. But make sure you continue to keep your distance, among other COVID-related restrictions in place for Manitoba beaches.

Beach safety officers returned to patrol Thursday in Manitoba in places like Birds Hill, Winnipeg Beach, and Grand Beach provincial parks.

Standard physical distancing practices should be followed, including two metres or six feet of separation from other beach users outside your family group, and four metres or 12 feet of separation between each group’s towels and blankets on the beach to allow for foot traffic to and from the water.
