Northern Saskatchewan rocked by suicide of 10-year-old, the fourth suicide of a young girl this month
DESCHAMBAULT LAKE, Sask. — Another young girl in northern Saskatchewan has taken her own life. Grand Chief Ron Michel of the Prince Albert Grand Council says the latest suicide involves a 10-year-old child from Deschambault Lake, about 500 kilometres northeast of Saskatoon. Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation Chief Peter Beatty, who is from Deschambault Lake, said it’s hard dealing with the suicides of people so young. He said the aboriginal youth suicide rate is five times the national average.
