No More Room For Evacuees
No word yet on where Attawapiskat First Nation flood evacuees are headed. The northern First Nation declared a state of emergency this week due to rising water levels in the community. Thunder Bay Fire Rescue deputy chief Dave Paxton says the city is at capacity as a result of Kashechewan First Nation flood evacuees already in the city. Paxton says nearly 900 evacuees need refuge until water levels return to normal.
