It's a learning curve for the city as Humboldt campgrounds open under new managementThe City of Humboldt is calling it a transition year as they learn.
The mayor encouraged residents to take part in the day’s activities, which include disc golf at St. Elizabeth Park, the storyboard walk and spray park at Water Ridge Park, mini-golf at the chamber of commerce office, golf at the Humboldt Golf Club, bowling at Kemway Lanes, swimming at the Aquatic Centre, and fireworks at 10 a.m. at Centennial Park. “In recognition of the discovery of unmarked graves at the residential schools across the country, I ask each and every one of you pay a minute of silence in tribute to those lives taken too soon.” City Hall has lowered their flags and changed the canopy lights to orange, rather than red and white.

$1.6 million The city’s largest project in 2010 will see $1.6 million spent replacing water lines and repaving sections of 16th Street. “This is a large project for our department,” said Peter Bergquist, Humboldt’s public works and utilities director. “The difference from previous years to this year is we realize that with this particular road and how busy it is. We want to replace the water main, the base and the road structure in the same year.” Water mains will be replaced and upsized from south of Highway 5 to 11th Avenue. Directional drilling will occur under Highway 5 to connect the water mains and create a looped system to the south side. This is expected to cost $714,700.
