There is renewed frustration over an unfulfilled promise to build an all-season road linking the community of Wollaston Lake to the rest of the province.
This comes as plans for another all-season road linking two uranium mines is moving ahead as scheduled.
NDP MLA, Doyle Vermette, says it’s a case of misplaced priorities.
“And the government can announce thirty million for that project but can’t complete a commitment it made to the community. I think that’s the frustration. We’re not letting this go. We’re gonna call on the government to continue, I’ll continue to work with the leadership, the community and we’ll do all we can to raise it.”
The Wall government announced the all-season road for Hatchet Lake in 2008.
Some clearing work has taken place but that is about it.
The road was scheduled to be completed by the end of this year.
In 2010, a woman teaching on the reserve, died when her vehicle broke through the ice while she was travelling on the ice road.
In the summer residents have to take a three-hour ferry ride to get out of the community.
