THUNDER BAY — Sleeping Giant Provincial Park is getting a significant investment from the Ford government.
With the backdrop of Marie Louise Lake, Thunder Bay-Atikokan MPP Kevin Holland on Friday announced a $1.7-million contribution to help maintain and revitalize infrastructure at the park. This funding will be to replace a dated backup generator, improve electrical systems as well as upgrade the sanitary dump and fill station.
This cash will improve the visitor experience and help boost tourism to the park, Holland said, adding it will be especially impactful for the park attendants. "It fits with the government's goal of being environmental stewards, with fuel tanks brought above ground onto cement pads within soundproof buildings to dampen the sound," Holland said.

This cash comes from a project valued at $41.7 million over two years to upgrade and maintain Ontario Parks infrastructure.
