| Cyprus Lake Campground Recap & Renewal |
$6.4 M |
| Upgrade outdated and inadequate existing infrastructure at a high-use campground, including requirements related to the water and electrical corridors, campsites, parking and roadways. |
| |
| Singing Sands Day Use Area Recap & Renewal |
$1.5 M |
| Singing Sands is a very popular beach and day use area situated on an incredibly diverse shoreline that supports distinct habitat areas; sand dunes, wetlands, alvars and forest. Home to many species at risk, renewal of boardwalks, pedestrian bridges, parking lot, trails and signage will restore infrastructure to meet current visitor expectations of a trip into nature while protecting an area of nationally significant natural heritage. |
| |
| Cyprus Lake Campground Reception Renewal |
$1.3 M |
| The structure currently referred to as "Cyprus Office" has been in service since the 1970's when it was built to serve as the Registration and Information Centre for Cyprus Lake Provincial Park. The existing roadway and parking area also dates to the 1970s. Since Parks Canada assumed ownership, the area accessed by Cyprus Lake Road (including a campground and access to the "Grotto") has become one of the highest visited sites within the Parks Canada system in Eastern Canada. The existing inadequate infrastructure at this location coupled with very high visitation has resulted in severe congestion and poor visitor service. To improve this situation Parks Canada is restoring this facility including vehicular flow. |

$1.2 M |
| The Grotto is the most visited area within Bruce Peninsula National Park, welcoming tens of thousands of visitors each year. Deficiencies in existing infrastructure will be addressed, including parking lots, group sites, amphitheatre, and trails. Work will also ensure public safety while better directing visitor flow to protect the natural features of this iconic attraction for generations to come. |
