More Visitors, More Costs: Fees Going Up To Visit Saskatchewan Provincial Parks

The Canadian Press, 04 Jan, 2016 01:29 PM
    REGINA — Some user fees for Saskatchewan's provincial parks are going up.
     
    The government says there were a record 3.9 million visits to the parks last year and costs to maintain services are rising.
     
    The fee for overnight camping is going up $1 to $36 for a fully serviced site and to $16 for an economy site.
     
    Vehicle entry permits are increasing by $1 to $5, which will put a day pass at $8.
     
    Rates are also going up for group camping and seasonal camping.
     
    Parks Minister Mark Docherty says user fees cover about 60 per cent of operating costs.
     
    The government says it's the first time fees have changed in more than 10 years.
