“We do have a number of people in the community that do have addictions, some are severe addictions, and they will look for alternative ways to curb that craving and then possibly end up in emergency,” said La Ronge Mayor Joe Hordyski, in an interview on Thursday. Hordyski said he and other leaders plan on sending a letter to SLGA Minister Lori Carr, asking her to delay the sale of the current building. Instead, they would rather see it continue to operate until a new private retailer opens shop.
“I hope they realize the North is a lot different because we don’t have another market that’s close to us,” Hordyski said. “I think they’re prepared to come up with a solution. I’m confident of that.”
