NDP leader comes to La Loche, while local MP waits for change
Nearly three weeks after the La Loche tragedy, NDP leader Tom Mulcair came to the town to pay his respects. After his visit, and visits from both the Prime Minister and Saskatchewan’s Premier, MP Georgina Jolibois hopes issues in her community will be addressed.
Jolibois was met on Tuesday, Feb. 3, by Mulcair. They attended the funerals of Dayne and Drayden Fontaine, two brothers killed during the Jan. 22 tragedy.
They met with Prince Albert Grand Council and Lac La Ronge area Chiefs, as well as health region and village council members.
“We visited as many residents as we could,” Jolibois said adding the pair met with local businesses leaders.
