NEW SERVICE CENTRE FOR EMMA LAKE RECREATION SITE

Released on July 22, 2011

Emma Lake Recreation Site will be receiving a new service centre. River North Construction '86 Ltd. of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan has been awarded a contract to build a service centre, along with sinks, showers and flush toilets.

The existing facility, initially constructed in 1968, no longer meets visitors' needs and is ready for replacement.

"Our visitors have identified modern, clean washroom facilities as a priority," Tourism, Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Bill Hutchinson said. "Our government has responded with improved facilities throughout the provincial park system, including a new service centre in Emma Lake Recreation Site."

The new service centre is just the latest upgrade for Emma Lake Recreation Site. In 2008, Murray Point Campground received 89 newly electrified campsites, upgraded electrical service to 39 campsites, and in 2009, a new entry kiosk and campground office building.

These improvements fit with government's goal to continue improving Saskatchewan's provincial parks. The government is on track to meet and exceed their commitment of providing 1,000 more electrified sites in parks over four years. Along with adding and upgrading electrical service, the ministry is also replacing or upgrading some service centres, potable water systems, historic facilities and some picnic tables and barbeques.

Work on the service centre is expected to start in fall of 2011 and be available for the 2012 park season.

Consultation is also underway about a proposed new provincial park in the Lakeland area that would include the existing Emma Lake and Anglin Lake Recreation Sites and some adjacent Crown Land. Consultations are ongoing, and the public is invited to share their opinions at www.saskparks.net.
