The staff of the Lac La Ronge Visitor Centre had the opportunity to attend a social evening between community dignitaries and the members of the R.C.M.P. Musical Ride. The social was jointly hosted by Northern Saskatchewan Tourism (NST) and Woodlands and Waterways Regional Development Corporation (WWRDC). We would like to thank the La Ronge Co-op for generously donating fruit plates for the social.
This event was an excellent opportunity to meet the men and women of the RCMP who serve Canada everyday in police work as well as ambassadors during their three year commitment to the Muscial Ride. The night was a great success and enjoyed by all!
The La Ronge and District Elk's Club will be hosting The Musical Ride performance on Tuesday evening at 6:30 on June 5th at the Elk's Fair Grounds, north of the town of La Ronge. The horses will be stabled today and tommorow, 9AM to 9PM at the La Ronge Uniplex. Visitors Welcome.
Open Season on Fish!
Once again the north is alive with the return of yet another migrant species. This species travels to the north from all corners of the continent, and its sojourns are legendary- the intrepid northern angler.
Every summer, the angler makes its yearly pilgrimmage to northern Saskatchewan, chasing an even more mythical beast: "the one that got away".
The angler can frequently be seen in schools of four, loading the latest fishing gear into aircraft ready to take them to the remote lakes and rivers of pristine northern Saskatchewan.
We wish our annual guests the best of luck in their eternal quest for "the big one", and thank them for visiting our area. With more than 100,000 lakes, Saskatchewan can accomodate anglers for years to come.
Lender's Trade Show
Northern entrepreneurs had the chance to visit with a variety of business-oriented lenders during the Lender's Trade Show on April 26th at the Mel Hegland Uniplex.
Lenders from 16 agencies put on the show, a first of its kind in Northern Saskatchewan.
Are you an entrepreneur, looking to develop, expand, or start a business? Do you need money? Advice? Help? Talk to the La Ronge Lender's Group.
Spearheaded by Visions North, and consisting of a group of interested partners from around the province and beyond, the group decided to host the show in the capital of Northern Saskatchewan. The lenders, lending anywhere from 15,000 to one million dollars, were available to discuss your business proposal or expansion.
Spring Arrives in the North
It started a few weeks ago with the bald eagles, and then the bluebirds. The songs of the northern boreal birds are everywhere, announcing spring's arrival. At dawn and again at dusk, the cry of birds calls out from the muskeg, making sure the world has noticed their return from southern winter haunts.
Slowly, the thick ice on Lac La Ronge has been receding, and winter's grip on Lac La Ronge has given way. Even in the deepest forests now, the snow is gone, replaced with the wetness and fresh growth of spring.
As winter gives way to spring and we sense the onset of summer not far behind, we prepare for those summer activities which were not possible during the winter, as fishing season will be open in a matter of weeks.
Soon, the lake will be warm enough for swimming and waterskiing, fishing will be in season, and the trails will be dry and ready to be walked. Now that the majestic northern wildlife has emerged after the winter, we're all ready for another beautiful summer.
