Since 2008 they’ve hit many milestones including the land donation, and the province supplying operational funding, which will be $2 million per year.
She explained they wanted to reach at least half of their fundraising goal before beginning construction and they’ve well exceeded that. They only have $1.1 million of their $4 million goal left to raise.
“It’s just going to give people another option and an option that we need in this city and the surrounding communities,” she said.
What comes next is the beginning of construction and the hospice will continue to fundraise to reach their goal.
“This project has been a long time coming and we’ve persevered, we didn’t stop, and it’s just great to see all the support, and the continued support we have is amazing,” Mitchell said.

REGINA A popular waterslide attraction in southeast Saskatchewan is struggling to reopen after it was forced to close during the COVID-19 pandemic, and that has customers – who have already bought tickets – asking for refunds. The Kenosee Superslides are a summer staple in Moose Mountain Provincial Park, however the park has been closed since last year. Owners planned to reopen July 11, however, they were unable to open the slides to visitors due to circumstances they say are out of their control. Marie Bell had planned a day of summer fun at the waterpark for her grandchildren on July 11 – including one who was visiting from Alberta. She found out the waterpark would not be open shortly before hitting the road on Sunday.
