The Shaunavon Economic Development Committee has begun an initiative to lobby for Highway 37 to be rebuilt.

Highway 37 north of Shaunavon to the Swift Current Creek and south to the Frenchman River has deteriorated to a condition which needs immediate attention and the EDC is trying to get construction pushed up to be completed in 2021.

Shaunavon Economic Development Officer, Lauren Johnson, says that the EDC is asking individuals and businesses in the region to support the initiative and have developed a letter of instruction that briefly explains the initiative, as well as a sample letter template to use as a guide to create your own letter.

"We're asking that people customize their own letter, and then we can get these letters sent in to our MLA, Doug Steele. And then, we're asking anybody interested in doing this to also cc myself on it, as well as our Minister of Highways, our Deputy Minister of Highways and the Southwest Transportation Planning Council."

You can find the information and the letter template on the Town of Shaunavon website or their Facebook page, or contact the Economic Development Officer at shaunavonedc@sasktel.net
