New paving project strengthens perception of La Ronge
A new paving project in La Ronge looks to bring in new business and appear more attractive to visitors.
“We’re very excited that council has passed at the April 10 council meeting the paving of Hildebrand [Drive] and Backlund Road, which are two of only a couple left of major arteries in the community that require paving,” said Mayor Thomas Sierzycki.
These two roads service many important facilities in the community like the Regional Health Centre, Northland College, uniplex, municipal office and fire hall.
“Number one it’s perception. Of course anytime major arteries in a community that aren’t paved and service such an important corridor, that may give off a perception that the community is not open for business or else take priorities into consideration,” he said.
