What we found: Open NWT contract history: SC447558 (Noda Enterprises Ltd., Hay River; $43,754; 13 May-15 Oct 2015) covered custodial and maintenance services at Lady Evelyn Falls Park and the Kakisa River Day Use area; ITI01-0000009169 (Dene Wood Works; $50,299; 2020 procurement, dates not reported) covered campground O&M at Lady Evelyn Falls Territorial Park and the Kakisa River Day Use Area. A 2022 'O&M Lady Evelyn Falls Territorial Park' contract and a 2018 'Kakisa River Park Upgrade Campsites' contract were seen in search results only; the latter suggests camp sites may exist, so visitor_camping is set to 'no' on the strength of the 'Day Use Area' name only - verify against NWT Parks 'Find a Park'. Lady Evelyn Falls is already in the employer list (Jag Contracting).
