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

January 16, 2026

Life is quieter in Kashechewan First Nation in northern Ontario. 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.
