Niagara Falls is now hosting hundreds of Kashechewan First Nation evacuees after a water crisis in the northern Ontario community forced many out of their homes.
Local Indigenous organizations in the Niagara Region — like the Fort Erie, Ont. Native Friendship Centre — are pitching in to help.
The city is hosting 858 people from the northern Ontario Cree nation.
“We have two hotels and a third one on stand by if need be,” says Niagara Falls Fire Chief Jo Zambito.
He says the fire department is working to ensure evacuees are and remain comfortable by providing everything they need including food and medical supplies.
Evacuees from the fly-in community have traveled by plane to Hamilton, and then finished the journey to Niagara on a bus — approximately 1,350 kilometers from home.
