THUNDER BAY — About 300 people from Kashechewan First Nation are set to arrive in Thunder Bay as the evacuation of the flood-threatened community continues.
City officials on Thursday confirmed that the province has issued a request for Thunder Bay to be a home host community, and that the first people are expected to start arriving on Thursday. “The City of Thunder Bay is willing and able to help our neighbours in their time of need, as we have in the past,” Mayor Ken Boshcoff said in a statement. “I am grateful to the many people who plan and deliver the supports and services to provide the residents of Kashechewan a home away from home.”
City officials said resources are in place to support the well-being of the community members, with the city's response including partnerships with the Canadian Red Cross, Indigenous Services Canada, Fort William First Nation, ISN/Waskwa, Ontario Health North, and Emergency Management Ontario. A full cost-recovery agreement between Indigenous Services Canada and the city is in place, officials added.
