Right now you can help keep AIS and zebra mussels out of Prince Albert National Park by donating to the Waskesiu Foundation AIS Defence Fund.

Parks Canada Agency - Prince Albert National Park Letter of Response to the Waskesiu Community Council regarding the question about cottage leaseholders connecting to deep water and sewer infrastructure in Waskesiu. 2023 Waskesiu Potable Water Report - Commentary: 1. Parks Canada routinely monitors drinking water quality to make sure it is within the guidelines set by Health Canada, including quarterly monitoring of trihalomethane (THM) levels. As part of its water treatment process, Parks Canada uses chlorine. Chlorine is an effective disinfectant but can react with organic compounds in the water to produce a by-product on the surface called THM’s. Their levels vary from year to year. The benefits of disinfection outweigh the risks of current THM levels and untreated water. Drinking water that has 0.1 mg/l has a 1 in 1,000,000 carcinogenic risk based on someone consuming 1.5 litres every day for 70 years. Residents and visitors to Waskesiu can reduce or eliminate THM in their drinking water by: 1. Keeping water uncovered overnight 2. Boiling it 3. Filtering it with activated carbon filters. 2 . There was also determined to be non-compliance in the frequency of chlorine residual tests in the distribution system. In 2023 Parks Canada did fewer tests on the distribution system than called for in the guidelines, however the chlorine levels are tested constantly at the plant. Parks Canada dramatically increased the number of BacT tests throughout the system (as noted in the report), ensuring the safety of drinking water. Parks Canada has a plan in place to be compliant with all testing requirements for 2024. CLICK HERE to read the latest update on the water quality in Waskesiu.

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 Waskesiu 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 – 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 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 2020 came (and went). As such, the Community Council renewed the strategic planning process – and it was 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.) The Community Council is pleased to again be working in conjunction with Parks Canada Agency, the Waskesiu Seasonal Residents Association, 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. CLICK HERE to download the Community approved version of the "Waskesiu Vision 2028" Community Action Plan.

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.
