GOVERNMENT OF SASKATCHEWAN FUNDS UPGRADES IN THREE PROVINCIAL PARKS

Released on June 15, 2012

Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Kevin Doherty announced today that construction will start this fall on four new service centres in Pike Lake, Katepwa Point and Buffalo Pound Provincial Parks.

"Over the past four years, our government has invested significantly into upgrading our provincial parks, including adding electrical service to almost 1,100 campsites," Doherty said. "This most recent investment of approximately $2.6 million will help improve our quality of life, grow our parks and guarantee a more enjoyable park experience for visitors."

A new swimming pool change room and washroom facility at Pike Lake Provincial Park will replace the existing facility. Katepwa Point Provincial Park will replace its day-use change house and washroom facility with a new change house and also upgrade its potable water system.

Two new service centres will be built at Buffalo Pound Provincial Park. One new facility will replace the existing service centre in Maple Vale campground. The second service centre will replace the day-use facility at Buffalo Pound's swimming pool.

Construction will take place throughout the fall and winter of 2012/13 with all facilities ready for the 2013 park season.

Over the past four years, the government has invested $33 million to improve Saskatchewan's provincial parks. This benefits many visitors each year. In 2011, Saskatchewan provincial parks reported a record breaking 3.37 million visits.

The government will continue to invest in our parks. Provincial parks will be provided with an additional $10 million for capital improvements over the next four years.
