Woodland Caribou Provincial Park


The Red Lake Regional Heritage Centre’s 2017 summer exhibit is all about the Woodland Caribou Provincial Park. With an opening date of July 21st, the exhibit will explore the variety of activities that can be enjoyed in the Park, such as backcountry paddling and trophy size fishing. Discover the vast diversity of species that live in the park, such as the forest dwelling woodland caribou. Uncover thousands of years of rich cultural history. This is one exhibition not to miss!


The project is a joint-partnership between Woodland Caribou Provincial Park and the Red Lake Regional Heritage Centre. The partnership was crucial for this exhibition to come to fruition. The Heritage Centre would like to recognize the hard work and valuable information generously provided by volunteers. The Heritage Centre staff would like to extend a special thank you to each volunteer for their time and commitment.
