Green Party candidate Sarah Kraynick is currently in Wollaston Lake learning about the needs and culture of the residents in the Far North.
“It’s a different world up here,” she said. “I think people down south sometimes don’t realize the differences and how much they’re facing up here and how much they need resources. I’m quite sadden actually that more has not been done in the past.”
Kraynick arrived in the small, northern community Wednesday and so far has spent much of her time at the local high school meeting students, teachers and staff to find out what their concerns are. She had the chance to speak with a band councillor and Kraynick stated some of the issues shared with her include climate change and difficulties with transportation. Residents in Wollaston Lake also expressed their frustrations about the ongoing need for an all-weather access road.
“People are noticing changes in the weather, which has affected things like hunting, fishing, even transportation [like] getting across the lake with the barge has been difficult at times,” she said. “Another issue that came up … has been the road that has been promised for so long has not been finished and this has caused many issues with the economy.”
