Saskatchewan NDP calls for action after another aboriginal girl kills herself
LA RONGE, Sask. — There is more heartbreak in northern Saskatchewan where another indigenous girl has committed suicide — the sixth in the province this month.
The NDP Opposition said the 13-year-old took her life on Sunday in La Ronge, a community about 250 kilometres north of Prince Albert.
Premier Brad Wall said the deaths have the undivided attention of northern leaders and the government.
“This is unspeakably tragic, each one of these losses, and to have them one after the other,” Wall said Monday.
