Johnson Park to Get a Playground
Council approved the allocation of $150,000.00 for installing a playground at Johnson Park as a part of the 2022 Capital Budget.

It is anticipated that the playground installation will commence sometime in July. Council authorized Administration to award the Johnson Park playground contract to The Sweetman Group o/a The Playground Guys for a lump sum fee of $134,372.50 (excluding GST).

Greenview to Provide Equipment Use for Little Smoky Ski Area Tube Park Improvements
At the Little Smoky Ski Area Board meeting on April 7, 2022, the Board members discussed that changing the slope of the tube park with some dirt work could significantly reduce the amount of snow required to operate in the winter and have a positive impact on the operating budget. Council has directed Administration to provide equipment, at no cost, to the Little Smoky Ski Area for the Tube Park project.
