The water is good to drink in Pikangikum.
The federal government says a drinking water advisory issued in that community was removed September 17th with the completion of repairs to the water treatment system and a back-up power system.
The advisory had been in place since March of 2014.
According to the feds, there are still 69 other Indigenous communities with long-term advisories still in place.
More progress was made in September with 4 additional long-term drinking water advisories lifted on public systems on reserve. Read our monthly update: http://ow.ly/zj9l30m4YsX #FNinfra

Originally from southern Ontario, Jason found his way here and fell in love with the community and music scene of Thunder Bay over twenty years ago. In between various stints on radio, television and writing, Jason is a dad, a partner and (some would consider) a zoo keeper (seriously, he has a LOT of pets).
