A staple in southeast Saskatchewan will not be reopening this year, and not because of COVID-19.
The Kenosee Superslides were given notice on June 20, they would not be receiving a license from the Saskatchewan Health Authority to operate this year due to safety concerns.
Owner and operator Harvey Armstrong says the Superslides management even tried to be proactive this year with their safety inspections.
“We got a hold of Sask Polytech, and (in) their manufacturing department, they have a plastics and fiberglass specialist there, and we got him to come out and inspect our slides just to ensure everything was safe,” Armstrong said. “If we had some issues we would deal with them, which we did.”
