Major Victory For Shoal Lake First Nations

It’s a big victory for the Shoal Lake First Nations, near Kenora.
The International Joint Commission has ruled against the City of Winnipeg’s plan to sell water to surrounding communities.
The first nations argued that the city would break the agreement in place by making a profit off the water.
In a letter, the IJC supported the argument and informed Winnipeg that it could not sell the water.
The decision will put a dent into the city’s CentrePort project.
