Permanent electrical services were installed for the LED winter lights at King George Park in Canora on September 25.
Aaron Herriges, director of leisure services, said the installation of a number of 20 amp plugs throughout the park is another step toward 鈥渕aking our operations more sustainable now and into the future.
鈥淚t will aid the community development department鈥檚 winter tree lighting,鈥� said Herriges. 鈥淭his allows the park鈥檚 walking paths to be cleared of snow without the risk of damaging power cords. By trenching in power we wanted to reduce the amount of cord usage. It will significantly cut down the annual workload to install the tree supply power. With the lack of wires in the snow, the park will be safer for the general public.鈥�
Herriges said having easier access to power throughout the park will be beneficial for a variety of events or programs, opening the park to more possible uses in the future.
