KANNATA VALLEY AND SASKATCHEWAN BEACH OPEN SEWAGE LAGOON

Released on November 15, 2002

The Resort Village of Kannata Valley and the Village of Saskatchewan Beach

now have a safe, reliable and "green" method of sewage disposal with the

completion of their joint lagoon project. This $316,796 project was funded

by more than $200,000 in assistance from the Canada-Saskatchewan

Infrastructure Program with the remaining funds coming from the communities.



"The Canada-Saskatchewan Infrastructure Program is ensuring the people of

Saskatchewan have up-to-date infrastructure systems," Osika said. "Our

main priorities are water and wastewater projects and upgrades, solid waste

management and recycling in order to protect people and the environment."



"Through joint investments in local infrastructure with the provincial and

municipal governments, the Government of Canada can support important

priorities identified by Saskatchewan communities," Secretary of State

Stephen Owen said (Western Economic Diversification) (Indian Affairs and

Northern Development). "The construction of projects such as this combined

lagoon system help fulfill the "green" focus of the program - municipal

projects that address improved water quality, the protection of our

environment and energy efficiency."



The Resort Village of Kannata Valley, in association with the Village of

Saskatchewan Beach recognized their communities' need to safely dispose of

sewage. The two-cell (primary and evaporation cells) lagoon was

constructed to be of sufficient size for a projected population of 620

permanent and seasonal residents by 2021 and prevent the contamination of

underground waterways and nearby Last Mountain Lake.



This is the second year of the five-year Canada - Saskatchewan

Infrastructure Program (CSIP) that will result in infrastructure

investments of at least $170 million in Saskatchewan municipalities. In

total, more than $33 million in federal and provincial funds will be spent

on the 142 projects announced this year. The program provides up to 2/3 of

the eligible costs associated with community projects. Communities provide

the remaining minimum one-third of the project costs.



Other priorities under the program include local transportation

infrastructure, cultural and recreational facilities, infrastructure

supporting tourism, rural and remote telecommunications, high-speed

Internet access for local public institutions, and affordable housing.
