Katepwa Provincial Park opens accessibility dock to visitors [Video]

A new accessibility dock has been installed at Katepwa Point Provincial Park.

The dock allows people with accessibility needs to gain easier access to the lake, as well as the ability to board boats, kayaks and other vessels more independently.

“Accessibility in our provincial parks is a critical feature that we’re working on to steadily improve, and make more access for all people whatever their physical challenges are,” said MLA for Last Mountain-Touchwood Travis Keisig, at the grand opening event.

In partnership with the Government of Saskatchewan, Trans Canada Trail and Saskatchewan Trail Association, Keisig said all three groups were able to fund the $88,000 project.

“We’re always taking feedback from all of the visitors from all our wonderful provincial parks all across Saskatchewan, and some of the feedback we’ve been getting is that we need more accessibility features,” Keisig explained, referring to how the idea for the project started.
