More Flooding Evacuees In Thunder Bay

Thunder Bay is once again opening its doors to help flood evacuees.

Just weeks after flooding forced residents out of the Kashechewan First Nation, officials confirmed Tuesday that rising waters in the Grassy Narrows First Nation will mean the relocation of approximately 100 more people to the city.

The situation in Kashechewan has improved and some residents were able to return to their homes over the weekend.

The response is a coordinated effort in partnership with the Canadian Red Cross, Department of Indigenous Services Canada, Ontario Health North, and the Office of the Fire Marshal and Emergency Management Ontario (OFMEM).

Grassy Narrows is situated 500 kilometres west of Thunder Bay.

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).
