CBC
The federal government is sending the military to help Pimicikamak Cree Nation after a days-long power outage led to damage to hundreds of homes and the evacuation of thousands of people.
In a letter posted to the social media site X on Friday afternoon, Eleanor Olszewski, Canada's emergency management minister, said a "specialized team" from the Canadian Armed Forces will be deployed to the northern Manitoba First Nation.
The military personnel will provide "targeted assessment and advisory support focused on water treatment and sewage systems, power generation, project management and logistics," Olszewski said.
