Since 1928 Waskesiu has been a thriving community surround by pristine nature. Learn our history and explore the Prince Albert National Park. Seven Sandy Beaches. Our Community History of our community On May 9, 1927, the Honorable Charles Stewart, Minister of the Interior, announced the establishment of Prince Albert National Park with a seasonal headquarters at Waskesiu Lake. Waskesiu Lake was considered the finest and most easily accessible of a chain of northern lakes, particularly because of the presence of a large natural beach area. As early as 1925, a small subdivision had been surveyed at Waskesiu Beach by the Forestry Branch and a few lots had been made available for business and residential purposes. Anticipating a demand for summer cottages and commercial lots soon after the Park's establishment, a survey for a new townsite was completed in 1928. The development of the townsite continued throughout 1929 and subsequent years. A large breakwater built in 1930 provided shelter for swimming and docks, developing the strong aquatic recreation base of the community. Public works projects undertaken between 1932 and 1935, primarily to relieve massive unemployment, resulted in development of a golf course, public campgrounds, tennis courts, and a number of log buildings displaying superb craftsmanship (including the Nature Centre, the Waskesiu Community Hall, and the Waskesiu Golf Course clubhouse.) A seasonal residential area on Prospect Point was developed in 1928, augmented in 1938 by a survey of the Lakeview subdivision. Surveys expanded the business community in 1933, providing bungalow camps and hotel accommodation for visitors, with a further expansion in 1950. The initial access road, Highway 263 from the Park's south gate to Waskesiu, was completed in 1928 with subsequent improvements to all weather status by 1952. In 1969, a new access road (Highway 264) from Provincial Highway 2 replaced Highway 263 as the most favored access road to Waskesiu. Reorientation of the entrance to this new access along Montreal Drive changed the locational advantage of businesses and Park facilities. The Waskesiu townsite was the administrative centre for the Park only during the summer months for the first 30 years following the Park's establishment. During that time the Park headquarters was shifted to the city of Prince Albert for the winter months. By 1959, Park maintenance and operations staff were quartered in the community year-round. The Superintendent and administrative staff continued to commute seasonally to Prince Albert until 1967 when the present Administration Building was completed. National Parks Policy also evolved during the period of the community’s establishment. The Park was established a few years prior to enactment of the 1930 National Parks Act. Awareness of Canadians regarding the spirit and intent of the Act has grown and evolved into formal expressions of widely supported policies in Canada's National Parks. These sometimes conflict with past practices or established visitor uses and local expectations, particularly by those with a vested interest in the management direction of the Park, or those whose long-time association with Waskesiu pre-dates this policy evolution.

Gordie Howe Memorial Fitness Park Fitness Park In 2018 the Waskesiu Foundation partnered with the Waskesiu Recreation Association to construct a new outdoor fitness park – the “Gordie Howe Memorial Fitness Park”. Our Fitness Park was dedicated on August 5, 2018 by Murray Howe, son of hockey legend Gordie Howe. Gordie Howe lived, worked, golfed and fished at Waskesiu during his hockey career and called Waskesiu his “favourite place on earth”. During his early NHL years, Gordie spent many summers in the Park - working at the Waskesiu Golf Course, and fishing with one of his on-ice rivals – legendary goaltender Johnny Bower. The fitness park is a tribute to “Mr. Hockey”, who in life symbolized the best in physical fitness, human kindness, humility, and compassion. A new floor of athletic tiles was installed by the Waskesiu Foundation in the spring of 2019 giving users a more solid footing, and protecting joints from impacts. The facility is available to the general public for free, and is intended for adult use only. Additional exercise equipment, including kettle balls, is also available free of charge. Stanley Thompson Lawn Bowling Green Bowling Green Lawn bowling is a great sport for the entire family, and has a long history in Waskesiu dating back over 70 years.

He loved sports of every kind, including golf. Little Al was well known for his love of people – sharing a laugh and bringing light to all those around him. He could often be seen puttering around Waskesiu in his van - also nicknamed ‘Little Al’ - seeking out fun and new adventures around every corner. Alan’s journey of 22 years took an unexpected turn when he was diagnosed, in May of 2011, with Leukemia. His courage and optimism never left him as he faced treatment and hospitalization, though his time in this life came to an end on February 10, 2012. In honour of Alan’s incredible spirit, his love of all physical activity, and his passion for people, the Waskesiu Recreation Association was proud to name our mini golf course “Little AL’s Mini Golf” when it opened in July of 2018. Many thanks to the Waskesiu Foundation, the Logue family, and the incredible supporters of the “Alan Vincent Hadley Logue Memorial Golf Tournament” for their generosity and dedication to the Waskesiu community.

Many Waskesiu community partners have provided their support and participation in the Waskesiu Community Council's Waskesiu Vision 2020 & Beyond Community Action Plan. Waskesiu's Community Council made a commitment to identifying a mid-to-longer term Waskesiu “community vision" with input from the  2028 & Beyond Action Plan “Waskesiu Vision 2028” – Your Ideas Enhancing our Community Back in 2013, the Community Council initiated an important strategic planning process for Waskesiu called "Vision 2020 & Beyond" . Our goal was to develop a “shared vision” for our community – in an effort to articulate how Waskesiu should “look and feel” by the year 2020. As part of that visioning process, the Community Council sought input from, and encouraged increased communication among, all of the key stakeholder groups in Waskesiu. That strategic planning process resulted in a “Community Action Plan” for Waskesiu and the entire process was a great success. But, as they say, “time flies”, and now 2020 is here. As such, the Community Council has renewed the strategic planning process – now re-branded as “Waskesiu Vision 2028 ”. (The year 2028 has been chosen because August 10, 2028 will mark the 100th anniversary of the official opening of Prince Albert National Park by Prime Minister Mackenzie King.) Community Council is pleased to again be working in conjunction with Parks Canada Agency, the WSRA, the Waskesiu Foundation, the Waskesiu Chamber of Commerce, the Waskesiu Recreation Association, the Waskesiu Heritage Museum, Friends of the Park, the Lobstick Golf Club, and other key stakeholder groups – as we collectively work to enhance the Waskesiu experience. We urge you to learn more about this important initiative. Please provide your ideas to make Waskesiu an even better place for you, your family, and for the generations that follow. You can contact any member of Council for more details, and please continue to visit waskesiu.org (and look for “Waskesiu Vision 2028” ) for updates.
