Growing the Community

Welcome to Municipal Affairs.

Change is in the air for the growing community of Lanigan, Saskatchewan. As families put down roots and the population continues to rise, the town is taking a crucial step to support its youngest residents. A brand-new daycare facility is on the horizon, promising to ease the pressure on working families and help drive the local economy forward.

At the heart of this development is a partnership between the Town of Lanigan and the Lanigan Daycare Cooperative. In a recent Town Council meeting, a resolution was passed to approve an agreement in principle to build a new 90-space daycare facility—a significant expansion from the current 48 spaces. With the growing waitlist and the existing facility running at full capacity, this new development couldn't come at a better time.

With a project valued at $3 million, funding includes a $594, 000 one-time provincial grant, the sale of the current facility, and contributions from the daycare cooperative. A $40,000 grant from BHP helped develop the business plan, with MNP providing the blueprint for success.

Importantly, according to the Town, there will be no property tax impact on residents or businesses, as the Town of Lanigan will arrange the remaining $2 million, with the daycare cooperative managing payments.

It’s a big step forward—one that promises to support the heart of the community: its families.

Stay with us as we delve into the details of this exciting new chapter for Lanigan with Lanigan Mayor Tony Mycock, and Lanigan CAO Ron McCullough.
