UPGRADES AT GREENWATER LAKE PROVINCIAL PARK

Greenwater Lake Provincial Park is getting a new bath/change house this year.



The existing structure has been removed and a concrete block masonry

bath/change house will be built. The facility, which will be located on the

main beach, will house showers as well as toilets and change cubicles.



Total cost of this project is $180,000 with completion expected by spring, 2001.



"We are pleased to have the opportunity to improve the infrastructure in this

popular natural environment park, " Environment and Resource Management

Minister Buckley Belanger said. "This new bath/change house enhances the

quality of facilities and services available to our park visitors."



Funding for this project comes from the province's four-year, $120 million

Centenary Fund.



This money supplements current provincial parks infrastructure spending of $2.5

million per year. The Centenary Fund was developed so important capital

projects can be completed as Saskatchewan approaches its centennial in 2005.
