After 10 years of work by the Anglin Lake - La Ronge Natural Gas Committee, natural gas will finally be available in La Ronge in the spring of 2008.
Natural gas, which is 40% cheaper than burning propane or fuel oil, could easily mean increased economic development in the region, as it allows for businesses to open up that would not have been possible without it.
In addition, the vastly lower heating costs will make for much easier winters for La Ronge and Area residents.
The 20 million dollar extension of the natural gas pipeline from Montreal Lake to La Ronge was financed by the provincial government, Sask Energy, as well as business and individual signups onto the service.
