Northern Village of La Loche
|
Nestled in northwestern Saskatchewan, the Northern Village of La Loche is located in the lowlands of the Methy River basin along the eastern shores of Lac La Loche. The community is located approximately 100 km north of Buffalo Narrows, SK along Highway 155. One of the last communities on this highway heading north, La Loche has undergone tremendous changes in the past few decades.
Beginning as a fur trading post of the Hudson Bay Company because of the Methy Portage that occurred on the northern side of Lac La Loche, the community began to grow with the construction of a Roman Catholic school and hospital. La Loche has continued to grow to 2514 people (2021 Census)* (officially revised to 2664), becoming one of the largest municipalities in Northern Saskatchewan.
