The District of Lake Country has purchased the Canada Post building at 3211 Berry Road to expand RCMP service capacity in response to community growth. This acquisition helps delay the need for immediate construction of a RCMP facility on the newly acquired site at 9718 Bottom Wood Lake Road.
“Back in 2023, the 3211 Berry Road property was identified as being a suitable candidate for acquisition for the purpose of providing additional space for the RCMP detachment and staff contacted Canada Post to express interest in the property,” said Mayor Blair Ireland. “Council passed a resolution in 2024 authorizing staff to negotiate the purchase of the land using Land Reserves, Policing Reserve and General Fund Surplus. Following Canada Post’s relocation, the District was informed that the Berry Road property was for sale and successfully negotiated its purchase for $1,120,000.”
With the recent purchase, the District now owns three of the four parcels on the block bordered by Berry Road, Main Street and Grant Road.
