La Crete
When the first Mennonites arrived in the 1930s, they settled a short distance southwest of the original settlement on the current site of La Crete.When the first highways were built into the area in the 1960s, the population began to increase as new settlers arrived, and in 1979, La Crete was declared a hamlet.[citation needed] There is a Mennonite Heritage Village sited on "10 acres of land homesteaded by Henry H. Peters in 1950".[21] A ward boundary bisects the Hamlet of La Crete, which results in it having representation on Mackenzie County Council by two councillors.During the spring and fall, when the river is unfit for the ferry and the ice too thin to support vehicle traffic, or at other times when the ferry is not operational, travellers must continue north to High Level, then east on Highway 58 before coming back south to reach La Crete.
