Winnipeg's municipal park system and any county/regional open-space district are separate authorities — get written approval from the specific municipal / conservation / provincial park authority before a ceremony. State/province note for Manitoba: Municipal, conservation, and provincial park authorities typically require permission before ash scattering. Never assume a city park approval covers a provincial or conservation area.
