Roundtable meeting addresses ‘crisis’ situation in northern communities
Nothing’s changed in La Loche since the shootings in January of 2016.
This is the mentality of locals in the town, who, deciding to do something about it, contacted Prince Albert resident John Hanikenne. Hanikenne told these concerned individuals, he could help.
“I hear ‘somebody should’ too much. I learned the very valuable thing called ‘I am.’ I am the one who can. I am here to do something. I am strong. I have my own voice. With that, I said I should be the one to do something,” Hanikenne said.
A group of roughly 30 people met to conduct ‘all community’ discussion about everything and anything from the cost of food, to the price of housing, to addictions and issues surrounding disenfranchised youth. This was the first ever roundtable style meeting of its kind in P.A.
