LA RONGE AIRPORT SET FOR IMPROVEMENT

Released on December 12, 2000

A tender has been awarded for extensive rehabilitation of the La Ronge Airport.



"Crews will start crushing gravel this winter for this $4 million improvement

to the La Ronge Airport. The project should be finished by early August 2001,"

Highways and Transportation Minister Maynard Sonntag said. "Completion of this

job will require an estimated 32 jobs."



Carmacks Enterprises Ltd. was awarded this project as the lowest of four

bidders. The rehabilitation work will include the resurfacing of the primary

runway, taxiways and apron for the La Ronge Airport.



This $4 million project will be administered by Saskatchewan Highways and

Transportation and funded by Transport Canada under the Airport Capital

Assistance Program.



"The airport system is very important to residents of northern Saskatchewan,"

Sonntag said. "The La Ronge airport meets a variety of local needs, such as

emergency medical evacuations."



The Saskatchewan Highways and Transportation budget is now a record $274

million, a 17 per cent increase over the 1999-2000 budget. The provincial

government injected $24 million to the budget this fall.
