Conservative candidate Greg Rickford says Manitoba, Winnipeg haven’t asked for ‘Freedom Road’ dollars

Shoal Lake heading to the UN

APTN National News
The Shoal Lake 44 First Nation will be taking its case to the United Nations.

A delegation from the community is expected to travel to Geneva, Switzerland, next February.

The community has been cut-off from the mainland for 100 years and has been under a boil water advisory for nearly two decades.

It seems public support to build a so-called “Freedom Road” for the community is finally taking hold and it’s now part of the federal election campaign.

APTN’s Dennis Ward spoke with the candidates hoping to represent the riding that includes the community.
