Henderson Lake Campground Project Stalled for Exhibition Park

LETHBRIDGE – The integration of Henderson Lake Campground into Exhibition Park has been stalled temporarily.

Exhibition Park took over the campground a number of years ago.

General Manager, Rudy Friesen, says it’s still part of the master plan following an unsuccessful grant project. He says the plan for now is to re-look at how to incorporate the campground into the property.

In the meantime, the park has started conversations with both the provincial and federal governments.

“We’re curious to see, as budgets approach, how both the provincial government and the federal government are going to treat infrastructure projects, especially in light of the fact that parts of the country are struggling economically, whether the government’s going to step in and encourage some activity in the region,” noted Friesen.

The project will get underway once they can be approved for grants.
