Governments Looking for Flooding Answers

Indian Affairs Minister Chuck Strahl says moving the northern Ontario
community of Kashechewan upriver still wouldn’t solve underlying flooding
problems.
He says the First Nation’s preferred choice is a 500-million-dollar
move to higher ground up the Albany River.
However, he says that’s not a viable option because they’d still
be living on a flood plain.
Flooding has forced a general evacuation of about 15-hundred people
from Kashechewan and more than 300 vulnerable people from nearby Fort
Albany.
