Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Kevin Doherty announced today that agreements have been reached that will see an estimated $2.6 million of private investment in Blackstrap Provincial Park. Agreements with two separate companies are now in place that will see the construction of a new marina and rental cabins at Blackstrap.
“Our province continues to grow and our provincial parks are more popular than ever,” Doherty said. “In fact, a new attendance record was set this year. Private investments like these help to enhance the diversity of services available at our parks. We are very pleased to enter long-term agreements with both parties and know that this will help to provide guests with the best possible park experience.”
An agreement has been reached with Blackstrap Marina Corp which involves the development and operation of a 190 slip inland marina at Blackstrap Provincial Park. The marina will offer multi-year, annual and daily slip rentals to the public. It will also offer marine fuel service, a boat launch and vehicle/trailer parking.
A second agreement has been reached with Waterfront Developments Ltd., who will develop and operate 12 new rental accommodation cabins. These cabins will be fully-furnished year-round units. Rental accommodations are in high demand and this development will enable more visitors to take advantage of the recreation opportunities at Blackstrap Provincial Park.
“Together with Saskatchewan provincial parks, we are working toward giving boaters a home in one of the province’s most accessible and beautiful locales,” Blackstrap Marina Corp Director Craig Pollack said. “We are delighted to be building what promises to be one of western Canada’s premiere marinas at Blackstrap Provincial Park.”
Construction for these two initiatives will begin as soon as possible. In addition to these two private developments, the Ministry of Parks, Culture and Sport is in the planning stages for a new serviced campground for Blackstrap Provincial Park. It is anticipated the campground design and development will occur over the next two years.
Government continues to focus on improving Saskatchewan’s provincial parks. Private investments such as these help to create high quality experiences for our visitors and will enhance their enjoyment of this park. In addition to facilitating partnerships like this, government has invested $44 million over the last five years to improve Saskatchewan’s provincial parks.
