Loreburn – Dan Vandal, Minister of Northern Affairs, PrairiesCan and CanNor, and Laura Ross, Saskatchewan’s Minister of Parks, Culture and Sport announced a joint investment of more than $1.7 million to support two green projects in the province. Funding will support upgrades to the Danielson Provincial Park sewage lagoon to ensure it complies with regulatory requirements. This work will include resizing the existing primary and secondary cells, the installation of a High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) liner, as well as improvements to the transfer structure, dump station, fencing, and access. These critical improvements will serve the needs of park visitors, and better protect the environment.
The Narrow Hills Provincial Park will also benefit from upgrades to its water system. The existing systems will be consolidated into a single water treatment and distribution facility to improve efficiency. This will include the construction of a new water treatment plant, potable water treatment equipment, and a new backup well. The new system will make sure a safe and reliable drinking water supply remains available for generations to come. By investing in infrastructure, the Governments of Saskatchewan and Canada are growing the economy, building resilient communities, and improving the lives of residents in Saskatchewan.
“Canadians expect their local parks to be clean and pristine. These investments in drinking and waste water infrastructure upgrades in provincial parks in Saskatchewan will help protect the local water supply from environmental threats, and ensuring that visitors have the cleanest drinking water possible.” – Dan Vandal, Minister of Northern Affairs, PrairiesCan and CanNor, on behalf of Sean Fraser, Minister of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities
