Kashechewan First Nation Evacuees Await Water Testing Results to Return Home The fate of Kashechewan First Nation's 1,700 evacuees hangs in the balance as officials await water testing results to determine if it is safe for them to return home.
This crisis has been ongoing since January 4th, when over 60 people tested positive for cryptosporidium, a parasite that can cause nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting.
The local water treatment plant's failure has forced the community into a state of emergency, with evacuees living in hotels across Ontario cities.
