Neskantaga’s Second Evacuation Crisis | Edmonton News
Description
Neskantaga First Nation is in crisis again, forced to evacuate over 250 members after a sewage leak at their only nursing station—just months after fleeing wildfires. This follows a three-month evacuation last year, as leaders push for a long-overdue new health facility with no government commitment in sight. Facing a 31-year boil water advisory and crumbling infrastructure, the community endures relentless strain, especially on youth. While federal officials assess damage and offer emergency funding, residents demand sustainable, long-term investment—not just bandaids—to finally secure their health and safety.
