Ontario Regional Chief Reacts To Nutrition Study

A new study on First Nations living is causing some concern with Ontario’s Regional Chief.
The report highlights the dire need for better living standards in aboriginal communities.
The First Nations Food, Nutrition and Environment study found that up to half of First Nations in the north couldn’t afford proper nutrition because of the high cost of food.
Stan Beardy calls that unacceptable.
The study examined people’s diets and took water samples in 18-Ontario communities.
It found that several communities had recently been under boil-water advisories.
