5203 |a“La Loche is a Metis community in northwest Saskatchewan with a population of approximately 2200 people. There is an adjacent Indian reserve with a population of about 600 people. At present, the only significant economic base of the community is government assistance programs, which has resulted in a local unemployment rate in the range of 85-90 per cent. The economic problems faced by the community are widely recognized but previous initiatives have had little or no success in improving its long term economic prospects. This study has two primary objectives. The first is to present a community profile of La Loche, including a descriptive portion dealing with its demographic characteristics, community infrastructure, regional economic resources and a brief history of the community. The second is to advance recommendations which, if implemented, should facilitate the identification and exploitation of economic opportunities that exist in La Loche and its surrounding region. The recommendations are largely based on the responses received from the personal interviews of residents of La Loche"--Background, p. 3.
