Two by two: Developer wants biblical theme park with Noah’s ark in Saskatchewan
MOOSE JAW, Sask. — A Chinese businessman wants to build a biblical theme park in southern Saskatchewan with a massive replica of Noah’s ark complete with animal reproductions and a digital experience of the life of Jesus.
The yet-to-be-named park, which still needs some government approvals, would be next to a private cemetery south of Moose Jaw.
“I’m getting lots of people saying, ‘You’re putting an amusement park on your cemetery?’ Well, it’s nothing of the sort,” said Marc L’Hoir, manager of Sunset Cemetery, who is working on a plan with the developer.
“It’s going to be an educational process where people can come and learn about loving one another. And we need more of that in the world.”
