Tony Cote Summer Games generates significant economic impact for La Ronge
La Ronge Mayor Joe Hordyski believes the Tony Cote Summer Games is having a significant economic impact on the tri-communities.
The week-long provincial event has attracted thousands of athletes, coaches and support staff, effectively almost doubling the population of the area which sits around 6,000 people. He said the sheer number of visitors is a benefit for the community as a whole.
“I think we had fair warning we were going to get 5,000 or more people here and here they are,” Hordyski said.
“I was there Sunday night at the opening ceremony and everybody gathered in the track area and it was quite the experience to see that many people.”
