Addressing Social Conditions On First Nations

The MPP for Kenora-Rainy River is calling on the Premier to address the social conditions in First Nation communities.
Speaking at Queens Park, Sarah Campbell says it’s unfair that these communities have to declare a state of emergency to get some attention from the government. Campbell adds that many communities across Northwestern Ontario are in a similar situation, and that Kathleen Wynne should know this since she was the former Minister of Aboriginal Affairs. The remote northwestern Ontario First Nation of Neskantaga has declared a state of emergency due to recent suicides and the issue of prescription drug abuse.
