Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak says it’s offering support to Tataskweyak Cree Nation following a devastating fire at an apartment building over the weekend that’s left a toddler and a teenager in hospital and ten families homeless.

A press release from the organization says temporary accommodations have made for those displaced in Saturday’s blaze, but overcrowding is a concern.

It adds the First Nation’s chief and council are working on securing long-term arrangements for its displaced members.

In addition to Split Lake fire department, fire crews from York Factory First Nation and Gillam assisted in fighting the blaze.

MKO Grand Chief Garrison Settee offers his empathy to the community and that they will remain ready to assist with other matters as they occur.
