“We paid for everything that was required to get the walking path going,” he said. “We just hadn’t received any funding back from the grant money yet. It’s about a $2 million grant, in conjunction with Flying Dust First Nation, that we will be getting back because we had paid for everything. It’s just a timing thing. We just wanted to make sure we’re able to run everything.”

The whole cost of the project was covered through the federal-provincial grant. The city originally applied for the funding in a co-application with Flying Dust First Nation.

The walking path addition project is close to being completed. Crews put up some lighting in March for the paved path— that was finished late in the fall of 2022. There are still some final details to be done once spring comes. The new walking path runs from the existing walking path at Lions Regional Park in Meadow Lake, traveling down the east side on Third Street East, and eventually connecting with Flying Dust First Nation.

“Basically, it connects our two communities,” Seymour said. “Previously, there were pedestrians out [walking] on the highway. This alleviates that problem [by] getting people off of the highway, just a safety [matter], and having accessibility into the city, back and forth from Flying Dust.”
