EDMONTON – Alberta provincial parks will be getting a five-year makeover.
The province has announced a $239-million plan to expand and revitalize the provincial park system, starting with $54.2 million this year.
Environment Minister Shannon Phillips says the population of the province has gone up by one million in the last decade, a lot of them young families.
But she says in the same period, there wasn’t much done to the parks system.
