Classes Back in Session in Pikangikum

It’s back to school time for kids in the Pikangikum First Nation.
A number of elementary and secondary classes were cancelled earlier this month because of mould problems in the teacher’s living quarter.
Several teachers left the remote Northern community.
Chief Jonah Strang says the band was able to co-operate with the Federal Government to bring in some new trailers and clean up the mould in some of the existing homes.
He says students from kindergarten to Grade 8 are already back at school, and secondary school pupils will be back next week.
Strang says a cold snap should make the ice road solid enough to bring the trailers in over the next few days.
