Makwa Provincial Park
Break out the bal-loons, Makwa Lake Provincial Park is turning 40!
Kick off the celebration by cheering on participants in the Tri-loon-athon, then dive into an afternoon packed with hands-on activities, games, and park-inspired fun. As the sun begins to set, the party shifts into high gear. Cake is served, the music comes alive, and the lakeside fills with celebration. One park. Four decades. One unforgettable birthday bash.
