School in Pikangikum destroyed in blaze

Another tragedy for the troubled Pikangikum First Nation.

Over the weekend, the community’s school was destroyed by a fire.

Director of the Pikangikum Education Authority, Dean Peters
says they still aren’t sure if, or how students will be able to finish their school year or when a new school might be built.

The federal government has promised funding for a new school but there has been no time line as to when construction might start.

The O.P.P. in Sioux Lookout have been called in to help look into the cause of the fire.
