La Loche is a thriving Dene community with a population of over 2000 people. Modern sub-divisions are rapidly changing the character of this busy and industrious community which has all the usual businesses, stores, churches, and government agencies that one comes to expect of a town of this size. There is a hospital, day-care facilities, banking and paved highways. The local hockey arena (with artificial ice) is in continuous use throughout the winter months. La Loche is
6 driving hours north of Prince Albert. Teams must drive a long way for competitions
so fund-raising activities are part of the community involvement. This is
a beautiful part of the province. Views of the lake add to the charm of the
town. Recent developments in the tourism industry will provide further employment
opportunities for the residents. An airport offers charter flights to communities
further south and to the north. Many residents work in the mining sector.
La Loche prides itself on its well-trained fire-fighting teams who respond
to forest fires in central Canada. Cable TV and excellent phone and internet
services are available. Roads are paved and, for part of the year, a winter
road (two-hour drive) connects residents to Fort McMurray, in Alberta. The
town has character and history. This is a friendly community and the people
are proud of the "L.A. of the North"! |
