The Northern Development Initiative Trust has approved 300 thousand dollars for the city’s proposed RV park and campground construction on the old public works site in the Johnston Bridge Loop.
This money is on top of the almost 515 thousand dollars that the City has already received from the province, and will allow for better service sites and better washroom facilities.
It also means that the project will be 100 percent funded.
The plan is to build 13 RV Park/campsites, provide water and electrical services, pave the entrance to reduce dust and gravel, and to construct two washrooms.
The City of Quesnel is seeking more money for its new RV Park

With the grant money from one application in the bank, the city of Quesnel is now awaiting the results of a second grant request for its new RV Park and Campground in the Johnston Bridge Loop.
Amy Reid is the Manager of Economic Development and Tourism.
“With the funding that we’ve received from the Community Economic Recovery Infrastructure Program, we are able to go ahead and build a RV Park, but with the extra funding that we’ve applied for through Northern Development Initiative Trust we’d be able to add some bells and whistles, so we’re just waiting to hear on that in April.”
