Waskesiu Lake, SK - July 27, 2015 – Office of the Minister of the Environment, Parks Canada
Rob Clarke, Member of Parliament for Desnethé—Missinippi—Churchill River, on behalf of the Honourable Leona Aglukkaq, Minister of the Environment and Minister responsible for Parks Canada, today announced infrastructure investments totalling more than $29 million in several projects across Prince Albert National Park.
This major investment includes the first phase of rehabilitation work along Highway 263; rehabilitation work on the Waskesiu Lake Marina and Waskesiu trail network; as well as work to rehabilitate the Kingsmere day-use parking lot and boat launch, and backcountry campgrounds, boardwalk and bridges along the park’s iconic Grey Owl Trail.
These projects are the result of an unprecedented investment by the Government of Canada to support infrastructure work in our national historic sites, national parks and national marine conservation areas. This investment represents the largest federal infrastructure plan in the 104-year history of Parks Canada, ensuring these cherished places are protected and secured for the future while also creating and protecting jobs and opportunities.
