Power was restored to Little Grand Rapids and Pauingassi First Nations at noon on Saturday, a spokesperson for Manitoba Hydro told CBC News. Repair work has been completed on the power lines and Chief Raymond Keeper said testing is underway to ensure Little Grand Rapids will have power. The news of an upcoming return home "makes me feel pretty good," said Ashley Moore, who is from Little Grand Rapids. She doesn't believe that would have happened if they'd stayed in Little Grand Rapids. Smoke from nearby wildfires clouds the sky in Little Grand Rapids First Nation in July.
