Leisureland rewarded for perseverance By Becky Zimmer Journal editor
The Saskatchewan Regional Parks Board saw something in the LeRoy Leisureland Regional Park. That is why they have been awarded the 2018 Park on the Move award during the board’s annual convention on April 13. Leisureland general manager, Kevin Harcourt, says it has been a challenging past three years but the support from their board and the community has made all the difference since starting in the position in the spring of 2015. “We went through some tough times and when we took over it was very precarious in terms of financial, moral, and everything.” No one was to blame for this position, says Harcourt, it was bad circumstances but with a new board united everyone; the community, the board, the staff, the customers, the sponsors,
everybody, needed to start pulling in the right direction. With a new board, new staff, and a renewed enthusiasm, Harcourt says the only place to go was up. “It took a lot of work and a lot of public relations by everybody and it become quite successful.” This award is a stamp of approval for all the work they have done, says Harcourt. It makes the community very proud of that, he says, but it took community support to get this point as well. “It takes the community support of all the surrounding communities, all the municipalities and towns around that support us. You can do the best job possible but unless you have support, the hard and cold facts are you need the people.” Harcourt has a lot to look forward to this summer with new additions and events coming to the park.
The LeRoy Leisureland was recognized during the Regional Parks of Saskatchewan conference on April 13, earning the Park on the Move award after vast improvements to the financial and physical state of the park over the past three years.
