Opposition Leader to attend Cartwright-L’Anse au Clair district forum

Opposition Leader Yvonne Jones will be in the Labrador Straits tomorrow to participate in a district forum that will discuss the opportunities and challenges facing the south coast of Labrador. Jones will be joined by business and community leaders from the district of Cartwright-L’Anse au Clair, along with representatives from government.

“This district forum will allow our region to highlight the opportunities and challenges that we have faced over the past couple of years,” said Ms. Jones. “There will be government representatives, business people and community leaders who have unique and differing perspectives on how to accomplish new growth, while dealing with the economic and development challenges that we face on a continuous basis. I am hopeful that these types of discussion forums allow a better understanding of our situation and a recognition of what needs to be done to bring about positive change.”

Jones will be making a presentation to the forum on Wednesday morning providing an overview of each community, the challenges that have been faced, and the economic opportunities available in each sector of the region’s economy.
