Nickel Days was scheduled to take place June 19th to 22nd but, unfortunately, this year’s event has been cancelled.

Jenn Thackeray, President of the Nickel Days Corporation explains the reason for the decision.

“We made the decision last week to cancel Nickel Days. We have had unprecedented wildfires and evacuations in Northern Manitoba early in the wildfire season and because of that, we felt that the safety and wellbeing of other residents in Northern Manitoba to cancel Nickel Days.”  

Nickel Days started in the early 1960s and was only cancelled during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The event includes a midway with rides and games, stage shows, family games, a parade, a social, and the National King Miner competition.
