Outdoor common at The Forks open for the season on Saturday

As temperatures in Winnipeg begin to rise, The Forks announced plans to gear up for spring with the opening of the outdoor Common on April 26. 

In a news release, The Forks said, "The hours and selection at the outdoor Common will be intermittent during the first few weeks. Visitors are welcome to purchase drinks at the indoor Common and bring them to the outdoor patio."

The Spring Loading fundraising campaign also launched this week. The campaign runs until the end of spring, June 20, to raise funds and awareness for The Forks Foundation. 

Funds raised will support initiatives including planting trees, grass, and flowers. As well as cleaning up the Riverwalk and adding portable water bottle filling stations.
