Western Economic Diversification Canada Community Adjustment Fund  The Town of Hudson Bay has received funding through the Western Diversification Community Adjustment Fund for the establishment of an outdoor tourism destination area. With these funds they have secured six full time employees and one part time employee. Ervin Lungull, Coordinator, supervisors Danny Smith and Norm Marcyniuk, along with four labourers: Bruce Troff, Dion Morton, Darcy Sjueberg and Ken Cleaveley have been hired. This federally funded program runs from October 1, 2009 and ends March 31, 2011.
Hudson Bay was eligible for the grant dollars based on the adverse effect of the downturn in the forest industry. As recipient of these grants Hudson Bay is to complete new activities to enhance tourism in the area in order to provide long term economic diversification. Activities will include campsite upgrades, park upgrades and wilderness trails as follows:
1. Construct warm up shelters, signage and other trails-related activities until the trails routes are established and the Environmental Assessment Screening is complete. These structures will be put in place once the trails construction is under way.
2. Construct 6.5 km of access road from the grid road to Leaf Lake and Tee Pee Creek.
3. Construct a boat launch at Leaf Lake.
4. Construct a 5 km walking trail from Hudson Bay Southwest to the Fir River (on town land within the boundaries of Hudson Bay).
5. Construct 10 km of new walking trails in Wildcat Hill Provincial Wilderness Park and 24 km of access trails to the area.
6. Install creek crossings and culverts as necessary for trails and access roads.
7. Upgrades in the Hudson Bay Regional Park and 5 Area Recreation Sites (Provincial crown land or land owned by the Town) Activities include: - renovate camp kitchens - renovate/replace picnic tables, BBQ pits and stands – expand Regional Park workshop – reroof the Hudson Bay Museum.
8. Upgrade Heritage Park (a 10 acre town-owned site replicating Hudson Bay of 1909) Activities include: - reroof and renovate several buildings – upgrade signage, repaint and fix structures, redo the boardwalk.
9. Construct a 200 square foot tourism train-stop shelter at the Via Rail siding on the serviced Town parking lot adjacent to the tracks.  All these projects are subject to permits and approvals, and there could be changes regarding project scope later on if some permits and approvals are not met.
The first project was the trails and boardwalks at the Regional Park, where the new crew did a tremendous job installing 500 feet of board walk, 110 feet of bridges, 85 feet of stairway, and a chain link hand rail guiding the hikers up the side of the hill. This specific project was not only funded by the Community Adjustment Fund, but also by the Hudson Bay Rotary. The Rotary immediately jumped on board and will be donating funds towards the materials needed to complete this amazing project. The Rotary’s dollars will be going towards the pressure treated lumber that was used in all the new structures, securing the longevity of these beautiful trails for years to come. In recognition for the generous donation made by the Hudson Bay Rotary, these new trails will be known as “Rotary Trails” and there will be an official grand opening of these trails set for next spring. by Lisa McCune Post Review |  |
