A staple in southeast Saskatchewan will not be reopening this year, and not because of COVID-19.
The Kenosee Superslides were given notice on June 20, they would not be receiving a license from the Saskatchewan Health Authority to operate this year due to safety concerns.
Owner and operator Harvey Armstrong says the Superslides management even tried to be proactive this year with their safety inspections.
“We got a hold of Sask Polytech, and (in) their manufacturing department, they have a plastics and fiberglass specialist there, and we got him to come out and inspect our slides just to ensure everything was safe,” Armstrong said. “If we had some issues we would deal with them, which we did.”
The owner of Kenosee Superslides thought everything was in order after his waterpark was inspected.
“As the inspections were getting done, we were taking notes, we were talking to the inspectors. They were pointing out issues that might be a problem at some time so we jumped on it right away,” said Harvey Armstrong.
Armstrong believed he had resolved all those concerns and was planning to open in late June.
But he says, in the end, the Saskatchewan Health Authority denied him a permit to operate. Armstrong says the SHA cited “deficiencies” and problems with the condition of the slides, notifying him in a letter dated on July 20.
