'I don't trust that water plant': Hundreds evacuated so far from First Nation in northern Ontario

January 16, 2026

Some children can still be seen playing hockey on a snow-packed road, but that would have been more common three weeks earlier had the community's water-treatment plant not failed. Amid a state of emergency, about half of the 2,300 residents have already been evacuated to cities including Timmins, Kingston and Niagara Falls.
