The big multi-bay shop that burned down in Slave Lake’s northeast industrial area almost one year ago is being rebuilt, by a contractor out of La Crete. Owner Ingo von Wackerbarth says he expects it to be finished in three months or so, and ready for a new set of tenants. There’s a demand for shop space, he says. Photo is from early on Aug. 5, before any workers showed up. The roof is built, and waits to be hoisted into place, in sections, onto the walls once they’re finished.
