After reviewing the same, the Board provides the following update as to how the “Re-Open
Saskatchewan Plan” will effect Emerald Lake Regional Park:
ELRP will open to long term seasonal campers, overnight stay and limited-term campers on
June 1, 2020. We will not be issuing a refund for the seasonal campers for the month of
May. (*When the Seasonal Agreements were sent out in March, 2020, we advised that the
Park would not be opening to the public until May 15th and closing on September 15th.
However, we offered the seasonals a season defined as May 1st to September 30th as our
Park Manager would also be in the Park for that period of time. We offered these extra four
weeks at no extra charge to the seasonal fees.)
All public areas and buildings will continue to be closed, these include the following:
• Main store and beach concession
• All playgrounds

All bookings in the month of May will remain cancelled and fully refunded effective
immediately. If you are booked into the Park for June 1st or later and we are advised that we
have to close due to Covid19, you will receive a full refund. Regular campsite cancellations
(non-Covid19 related) will adhere to regular cancellation guidelines. The campsites will only
be filled to 50 percent capacity. Therefore, you will be contacted if you have already booked
and need to be moved and/or cancelled.
The AGM will continue to be postponed until further notice.

occupy your trailer/cabin.

Park. If it is not possible to be within a minimum of 2 meters from someone, please
do not attend this area of the Park.
• No social gatherings over 10. *If you are unable to maintain a minimum distance of
2 meters then you cannot have a social gathering.
• After May 15th, please contact the Park Manager by email or phone for issues in the
Park. Do not unnecessarily approach staff in the Park.
The health and safety of Park Patrons and employees is our main priority. We will continue
to keep Patrons, campers, cabin owners and community updated via emails, mail outs and
our website.

Park / Area History

Emerald Lake was formerly known as Ruxee Lake and was renamed Emerald for its clean, beautiful, spring fed water. In the 1920's the RM #465 applied to the Department of Natural Tourism for the lease on Emerald Lake. In the 1930's this lease was turned over to the Avebury Community Club. By as early as 1932 the club noted a substantial increase in the use of the resort. They recorded 30 to 40 campers spending the entire summer. In the 1950's the lease for Emerald Lake Resort was turned over to the Leask Branch of the Canadian Legion. In 1968 the Leask Legion turned the lease over to President Hector Duncan and Secretary C.E. Harris and Emerald Lake became a Regional Park.
