Provincial Parks to Celebrate Saskatchewan's Parks Week

Released on July 11, 2016

The Government of Saskatchewan has once again proclaimed July 10-16, 2016 as Saskatchewan Parks Week.  Parks Week is the perfect time to explore all that Saskatchewan’s provincial parks have to offer.

“Saskatchewan’s provincial parks are the jewels of our province,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Mark Docherty said.  “We know that access to recreational opportunities and nature are two things that make the quality of life in Saskatchewan so enviable.  Each of our provincial parks offers something special for visitors to discover.”

Provincial parks will be celebrating Parks Week with a variety of activities.  Visitors to parks can experience archaeology, astronomy, canoeing, hiking, rope-making, tipi-building and more.  Many partner organizations will visit parks this week as well, including Saskatchewan Express who will perform in eight different parks.

Visit www.saskparks.net/ParksWeek for a full list of events and activities.

Saskatchewan Parks Week caps off on Saturday, July 16 with Canada’s Parks Day.  Saskatchewan is proud to join other provinces, territories and the Canadian Parks Council in celebrating Canada’s Parks Day.  Many parks will have a full day of activities that will be fun for the whole family.

For those in the southwest corner of the province, consider visiting Saskatchewan Landing Provincial Park on Saturday, as there will be a celebration recognizing the 25th anniversary of the opening of Goodwin House.

Minister Docherty was in Blackstrap Provincial Park today to kick off Parks Week and officially open a new 63 site campground.  This campground was part of a $10 million, four year commitment to improve and upgrade provincial park infrastructure.

Total funding for the provincial parks system since 2007 is more than $200 million.  This funding includes capital expenditures and investment, operational funding, and parks programming.

New programs are being offered in provincial parks such as the Learn to Camp program, Learn to Fish program, and the Cultural Access Pass, which provides newcomers free entry to day-use areas within parks.
