Northern Bus Route To Prince Albert Questioned

The mayor of Meadow Lake says his community would like to be included in a proposed new bus route.

 

Darwin Obrigewitsh wants to be consulted about a bus service that would connect Beauval, Buffalo Narrows, La Loche and Ile-a-la-Crosse to Prince Albert.

 

Obrigewitsh says he doesn’t see why Prince Albert was chosen as the link to the south over Meadow Lake.

 

He notes Meadow Lake services much of the North, and it is situated about two hours closer than Prince Albert.

 

The mayor says he has written letters to the Saskatchewan Transportation Company and several politicians about the issue.

 

The new bus route is scheduled to start up in 2008.
