Northern Evacuees Returning Home

Government officials say Kashechewan residents can now return home.
The announcement comes on a day when some residents of the remote
First Nation were still being evacuated due to a flood threat.
The community has been flooded and evacuated four times since
2004.
Officials now say conditions have improved, and it’s safe for
residents to go home.
Edward Sutherland, who was one of about one-thousand residents
taken to Stratford, says government efforts to protect the reserve
against flooding are just Band-Aid solutions.
