Warm temperatures still hampering winter road access to northern First Nations


Warm weather continues to play havoc with winter roads to northwestern Ontario First Nations. Roads to all communities are now open to at least partial loads, according to the Nishnawbe Aski Nation's winter road update published Friday. The winter roads get worse every year, he added, and this year has been the worst yet. "It's a lot of slush on the ice, and there isn't that much ice build-up this year," Gary Meekis said. The community relies on the road to bring in bottled water, food, groceries and lumber for home-building he said.
