The City of Thunder Bay is once again playing host to evacuees from a northern First Nation.

About 200 people from Eabametoong are in the city due to water service disruptions in their community.

The province asked Thunder Bay to be a host community.

The city’s response is a coordinated effort between the Red Cross, Indigenous Services Canada, Matawa First Nations, the Nishnawbe Aski Nation, Ontario Health North and Emergency Management Ontario.

Eabametoong is about 360 kilometers north of Thunder Bay.
