Upgraded Amenities in the District of Katepwa

Mr. Keisig: — Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker. Recently the district of Katepwa announced that the Katepwa Lake Trans Canada Trail was a recipient of a $150,000 investment from the Government of Canada. This partially paved trail runs along Highway 56 on the east side of Katepwa Lake and is part of the longest trail in the world. The district of Katepwa is providing an additional $50,000 that will allow for upgrading and paving three sections totalling almost three kilometres of the trail which leads directly into Katepwa Point Provincial Park.

Before arriving at the provincial park, visitors will enjoy a very smooth drive to the lake as they cruise along our recently resurfaced 20 kilometres of Highway 56 at a cost of $6 million. Mr. Deputy Speaker, as if the topic of the new highway isn’t exciting enough, there’s more. The park also offers a newly paved parking lot and boat launch at a cost of over $1 million.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, while you’re out and about this summer exploring all the beauty that this province has to offer, I encourage you and members of this House to take a drive out to Katepwa Point Provincial Park and check out all the amenities that the area has to offer. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker.
