Thunder Bay is hosting about 150 evacuees from the Kashechewan First Nation on the James Bay coast. The community declared a state of emergency due to spring flooding along the Albany River. Those who were flown out are considered the most vulnerable, that is, the elderly and the young. It’s not known how long their stay will take.
