Premier Lorne Calvert was in Onion Lake today to announce a major road upgrade to the area.

 

A total of $1.5 million dollars will be spent to pave 3.5 km of a gravel road that links the reserve to Highway 17.

 

The move will also improve access to the band’s school and health care facilities.

 

Calvert says construction will begin next year.

 

Onion Lake Chief Henry Lewis applauds the move, saying the new surface will make things safer for his community.
