The campground usually closes after the September long weekend, but the city plans to keep it open for about a month longer this year.

Weir says that as long as the weather co-operates the campground will stay open until Oct. 3.

A portion of the campground will be unavailable this year for campsite enhancement work scheduled to start in the spring.

In October, council approved the capital project submitted to the Municipal Stimulus Program provided by the Government of Alberta.

“We’re excited for these upgrades and to be able to offer additional full-service sites in the next camping season,” says Weir.
