Parks Canada will no longer charge a fee for sweat lodge ceremonies it offers at a national historic site in Manitoba. But Parks Canada was advertising sweat lodge ceremonies on three dates this summer, at a price of $59.50 per person. Still, ads for the sweat lodge ceremonies had angered many Indigenous people in Manitoba and across the country.
