Visitation to provincial parks set a new record in 2015 with nearly 3.9 million visits. The Government of Saskatchewan fulfilled its commitment of investing an additional $10 million over four years into the provincial park system. Preparations are underway for another busy year in 2016. “We have seen continued increases in our visitation and we work hard to provide a high-quality experience for every visitor,” said Mark Docherty, Minister of Parks, Culture and Sport. “Costs to operate the provincial parks continue to increase, and in order to continue to provide a high level of service to a steadily-increasing number of visitors, minor adjustments to some fees have been made.” Park user fees cover approximately 60 per cent of operating costs, a balance that has been found sustainable while allowing significant recreation opportunities to park users in the province. There have been minor increases to nightly camping, seasonal camping, group camping and vehicle entry permits. Price adjustments are as follows: $1 for nightly camping; $1 to $5 for entry permits; $4 to $8 for group camping; and
2.4 L, AWD, 17” Alloy Wheels, Cloth Bucket Seats, Bluetooth, On-Star, Steering Wheel Controls, Power Locks/Windows/Mirrors
$30 to $75 for seasonal camping. Fees for swimming lessons and organized youth group camping trips will remain the same as 2015. A marginal increase in park entry fees represents the first time fees have changed in more than 10 years. A full description of the new fees is available on the SaskParks website at www.saskparks.net/fees. ››› Continued on pg. 3
