Chamber of Commerce says northern Sask. businesses are feeling exhausted, unsupported
As some northern Saskatchewan residents begin returning to their communities, Matthew Maurer says local businesses are running low emotionally and financially, with no support from the provincial government.
“Our grocery stores that have no food, need to restock. We have business owners who stuck around to provide those essential services, and they’re burnt out, they’re exhausted,” Matthew Maurer, president of the La Ronge & District Chamber of Commerce and owner of Nikik Digital Solutions, said at an NDP news conference in Saskatoon on Wednesday.
