Kahkewistahaw First Nation is hoping to become owners of the popular recreational spot known as Bird’s Point on Round Lake. The Resort Village of Bird’s Point has maintained this recreational site, located on the north shores of the lake in the eastern part of the Qu’Appelle Valley, from the Government of Canada since its inception as a resort in the early 1900s. That lease is up for re- newal this fall. A search on the website of Tourism Saskatchewan shows the lakefront campground features 33 full hook-up sites, 30 seasonal sites and 11 daily use sites. Campground amenities include boat launch, beauti- ful sandy beach, treed picnic area with shower and washroom facilities, fish cleaning shack, new play- ground and gazebo. It states it’s a great lake for boat- ing, wakeboarding, water-skiing, tubing and fishing.
