Spotlight Saturday!
Everyone knows these steps and has a story about them. For the Robertson family, those steps reflect community pride, commitment, resilience and strength. Today, we are proud to share their story and their generous sponsorship of a resident suite in the new La Ronge & Area Long Term Care Home with a $12,000 donation.
After a devastating fire destroyed their building in June, their second home and a showcase of northern art, the Robertsons still chose to put community first.
In 1967, Alex and Phyllis Robertson relocated their four young children from Prince Albert to La Ronge, following Alex's 22-year tenure as a fur trader with the Hudson's Bay Company. Scott returned home after earning a degree in commerce, bringing with him his high school sweetheart, Karen, to help his dad run the family business. For decades, everyone knew where to find Scott: at work, dedicating over 70 hours a week to serving our community. Karen worked as a teacher for 32 years, teaching hundreds of students throughout her career. Dianne was also right there, dedicating over 27 years to the company, ensuring that every customer was cared for and that bills were paid.
Through market changes, challenges, and triumphs, Robertson Trading Company stood strong for nearly 6 decades. A place that welcomed northern families, tourists, and even celebrities. Scott and family, your impact on La Ronge and all of northern Saskatchewan will never be forgotten.
We are deeply honoured to have the Robertson family as partners on the road to $5,000,000, bringing healthcare closer to home for generations to come.
Thank you, Robertson Trading Memories .
