City to seek support for second bridge from Northern communities
Prince Albert’s city council on Tuesday approved forwarding a resolution calling for the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association (SUMA) to lend its support to the city’s bid for a second bridge.
But the city’s mayor, Greg Dionne, said he would be bringing the issue up at the New North mayors and councillors meeting at the Prince Albert Travelodge on Thursday. He will be seeking the support of mayors of Northern communities for a second bridge in Prince Albert.
New North represents 35 northern Saskatchewan communities, including Cumberland House, South End and La Loche.
“This is a Northern issue,” he said during Tuesday’s council meeting. “It’s just not a Prince Albert [issue].”
