ONDP Candidate Sol Mamakwa Releases Statement as Neskantaga First Nation Marks 30 Years under a Long-Term Boil Water Advisory.
Sol Mamakwa, the ONDP Candidate for Kiiwetinoong, solemnly recognizes the 30th anniversary of Neskantaga First Nation’s long-term boil water advisory (see Blue News here) with the following statement:
“On February 1, 1995, a boil water advisory was issued for Neskantaga First Nation. Three decades and many promises later, the long-term boil water advisory remains in effect. At 10,957 days, Neskantaga has the longest long-term boil water advisory in Canada. This anniversary is a cause for reflection and action.”
