Boating Returns to Clear Lake, with Safeguards

0:00It's April 8. From your city to your ears, this is Canada News Today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. Parks Canada is dropping the two-year ban on motorized boats at Clear Lake and Riding Mountain National Park, that hotspot in western Manitoba drawing, crowds every summer. The restriction kicked in back then to block zebra mussels, those pesky invasives that messed up ecosystems and even threatened water supplies. Forests and locals have been itching to get back on the water, and this move balances fun with protection, letting boating resume without full chaos. Now they're rolling out safeguards like a bigger no-wigs zone to shield the shores, plus two non-motorized days each week on top of must-do cleanings. And inspections for every craft. Details are wrapping up for the May kickoff, with launch fees coming to fun lake care long term, keeping things smooth for everyone hitting the waves.
