La Ronge Walmart Proposal Dead

La Ronge will not be getting a Walmart anytime soon.
A petition that was recently circulated through the area did not come back with nearly enough signatures, so the plan to bring the big box store to the community has been scrapped.
In early January, the La Ronge and District Chamber of Commerce showed its disapproval of the idea when members voted overwhelmingly against a proposal to seek community support by a vote of 11 to 1.
Walmart officials had previously indicated they would be willing to explore the possibility if 3,500 local citizens signed the petition.
