‘The place to be’: A look ahead with Meadow Lake’s MLA
It was a busy year for the riding of Meadow Lake in 2022 and now MLA Jeremy Harrison is looking forward to what the coming months will bring.
In an interview with meadowlakeNOW, Harrison touched on the growth the province experienced over the past year, with the population reaching 1.2 million people, and job numbers rising in December.
However, the latest jobs report from Statistics Canada showed an overall drop in the number of jobs for northern Saskatchewan, with the lowest job growth rate in the country at 1.1 per cent in 2022.
That was something, the provincial NDP said needed to be addressed by the government in the form of a jobs plan.
