Saskatchewan village to get health, education help after school shooting
LA LOCHE, Sask. — A remote northern Saskatchewan village where people were traumatized after a deadly school shooting is getting help to improve its future.
Premier Brad Wall was in La Loche on Tuesday where he announced new measures for education, health, housing and infrastructure.
“We know that it’s a start and there’s going to be more work to be done, but we’re grateful to have worked with the mayor and local leaders and the community to come to this day,” Wall said.
Some initiatives include adult basic education programs, a trades program in heavy equipment, automotive mechanics and construction of affordable rental housing in a joint federal-provincial project.
