Loaded onto four wagons, visitors become new prisoners
heading out to the former site of the Riding Mountain Park Labour Project (also known as the Whitewater Lake PoW Camp) under
the strict supervision of the guards. Learn what life was like at the camp as
the guards and prisoners (interpretative staff) bring history to life through
stories and photographs. Once at the camp, enjoy a traditional German meal,
similar to that served to the prisoners at the worksites. After lunch, explore
the site of the former camp with the aid of a GPS and myself.
Tour date is August 31.
Tickets are $62.00 each or $55.80 for Friends members and
are available at the Nature Shop (RMNP Visitor Centre) or by calling (204)
848-4037.
