Evacuees Heading Back


Flood concerns are easing up north and that is allowing some residents to return home.  Emergency Management Ontario says 90-Attawapiskat First Nation residents currently staying in Greenstone will return today, and another 260 will be flown back from the city tomorrow. Sixty evacuees who were moved to Fort Frances will have to stay there a awhile longer until their homes are cleaned and repaired.  Altogether in northwestern Ontario nearly 400 members of the Kashechewan and Pic Mobert first nations remain evacuated.
