Canadian soldiers deployed in Pimicikamak Cree Nation set to be out of the community

Over the weekend, all Canadian soldiers deployed to the Pimicikamak Cree Nation in northern Manitoba were set to be out of the community.

 

The federal government says the military mission to help the First Nation in the aftermath of its water crisis brought on by a power outage is now complete.

 

More than 13-hundred homes on the First Nation were damaged after a days-long power outage last month led to the failure of critical infrastructure. 

 

A government statement says evacuees are receiving accommodation, meals, health services and financial supports until it's safe to return home.
