La Ronge & Area Long Term Care Fundraising

03/14/2026

Spotlight Saturday!

We are honoured to spotlight Northern Resource Trucking (NRT) for their generous $12,000 donation to sponsor a Resident Suite within the new La Ronge & Area Long Term Care Home.

When we approached NRT about the project, they knew they wanted to help bring healthcare closer to home without hesitation.

NRT is a limited partnership comprised of First Nations and Métis partners from communities throughout northern Saskatchewan, along with Trimac Transportation. The partnership was formed by northern people, for northern people, and continues to play an important role in building the northern economy.

Thank you to the leadership team at NRT and to all of their partners for supporting this important project for our region!

Every dollar helps bring healthcare closer to home.

After 38 weeks, the La Ronge & Area Long Term Care Fundraising Committee’s Chase the Ace raffle has officially come to an end! While the results are incredible, our work continues as we push toward our $5 million goal to furnish & equip the new long-term care home, dialysis unit and expanded therapies area!

Based on the report submitted to the SLGA, the raffle generated:

- $826,920 in total ticket sales

- $418,460 paid out to winners (including the $5,000 seeded jackpot)

- $413,460 generated for the Long Term Care Home campaign

- $326,636 net raised for the campaign after raffle-related expenses ($3,853.79 in advertisements and the remainder from licensing/merchant fees)

All ticket purchases, both online and in person, were processed through the SLGA-approved raffle platform Tap5050 / PaySafe, which manages ticket sales, payment processing, and draw compliance.

This raffle required an incredible amount of time and behind-the-scenes support. We want to extend a sincere thank you to:

• Our Board of Directors

• Our Fundraising Coordinator

• Watt Agencies, which generously seeded the raffle with the $5,000 starting jackpot

• La Ronge General Store and its staff for volunteering their time selling tickets, hosting the weekly draws, and answering questions throughout all 38 weeks of the raffle.

And of course, thank you to everyone who purchased tickets and supported this initiative. Your participation helped award over $418,000 to winners and supported a project that will benefit our region for generations.

Thank you for helping bring healthcare closer to home! The best is yet to come. ♥️
