La Ronge is a northern town in the boreal forest of central Saskatchewan, Canada. Its location is approximately {{convert|250|km|mi|abbr=on}} north of Prince Albert where Highway 2 becomes Highway 102. La Ronge lies on the western shore of Lac la Ronge, is adjacent to Lac La Ronge Provincial Park, and is on the edge of the Canadian Shield.

This town is also the namesake of the larger La Ronge population centre[12] comprising the community, the Northern Village of Air Ronge and the Kitsakie 156B and Lac La Ronge 156 reserves of the Lac La Ronge First Nation.[13]

History

The name of La Ronge comes from the lake. The origin of the name is uncertain; the most likely explanation is that early French fur traders named it la ronge (literally the chewed) because of the large amount of beaver activity along the shoreline—many of the trees would have been chewed down for beaver dam construction.

In 1782,[4] the Swiss born fur trader Jean-Étienne Waddens had a fur trade post on Lac La Ronge.[5] In March 1782, Waddens was fatally wounded in a quarrel with his associate Peter Pond.

La Ronge began in 1904 as a fur trading post and meeting place, but with the decline of hunting and the fur market, La Ronge has diversified into other areas. Many of the Dene, Cree, and white trappers used La Ronge as their central service point. It incorporated as a northern village on 3 May 1905.[3]

With the extension of Highway 2 from Prince Albert in 1947, La Ronge became a major tourist fishing area. The highway between La Ronge and Prince Albert expanded the community further in the 1970s after it was paved.

In the early 1950s and 1960s, the mineral resources in the La Ronge area began to be explored and developed.

La Ronge's status changed from northern village to industrial town in 1965 and then to town on 1 November 1976 before finally becoming a northern town on 1 October 1983.[3]

In May 1999 The community of La Ronge was evacuated after a fire burnt through the far north of the town. The wildfire burnt multiple houses, before conditions pushed the fire away from the town and crews were able to extinguish it.

Once again in July 2015, La Ronge was threatened by dangerous forest fires that combined forcing approximately 7,000 people to evacuate from their homes. Many cabins, and homes were burnt. The fire came within 2 km of La Ronge and burnt completely around the La Ronge Airport making it difficult to fight the fire from air with smokey conditions and unreliable weather made the fight against the fires very tough. In total there were over a hundred fires burning in Northern Saskatchewan at once which forced over 13,000 residents to flee their homes which became the province's largest evacuation ever. The fires were caused by low precipitation in the winter and summer months and also high temperatures.[6]

Geography

La Ronge is surrounded by several First Nations reserves, with the Northern Village of Air Ronge located just south of the community on Highway 2. With access to all other points north, east and west, and transportation linkage to the south, La Ronge is also the northern hub for the Saskatchewan provincial government.

Climate

La Ronge experiences a borderline subarctic climate (Köppen Dfc), slightly below the threshold of a humid continental climate. Winters are long, dry and very cold while summer is short, warm and wetter. Precipitation is low, with an annual average of 486.2 mm. The highest temperature ever recorded in La Ronge was {{convert|37.2|C|0}} on 23 August 1929.[7] The coldest temperature ever recorded was {{convert|-52.2|C|0}} on 15 February 1936.[8]

In the 2011 Census, Statistics Canada originally reported that the Northern Town of La Ronge had a population of 2,304 living in 841 of its 960 total dwellings, a -15.4% change from its 2006 population of 2,725.[27] To refute the results, the Northern Town of La Ronge conducted its own municipal census which counted 3,053 residents, which led to an appeal of the 2011 census results.[28] Statistics Canada subsequently amended the 2011 census results to a population of 2,743 living in 1,005 of its 1,170 total dwellings, a 0.7% change from 2006.[24] With a land area of {{convert|11.86|km2|sqmi|abbr=on}}, it had a population density of {{Pop density|2743|11.86|km2|sqmi}} in 2011.[24][27]

In the 2016 Census, Statistics Canada reported that the La Ronge population centre had a population of 5,671 living in 1,704 of its 1,927 total dwellings, a +6.6% change from its 2011 population of 5,318.[12] With a land area of {{convert|8.57|km2|sqmi|abbr=on}}, it had a population density of {{Pop density|5671|8.57|km2|sqmi}} in 2016.
