CommentsLittle Saskatchewan First Nation Reserve MB, October 1999. A mysterious toxic mould that forced 170 people from their homes until at least March 2000 is stubbornly hanging on and frustrating fed-up residents. 100 people are still living in construction trailers without kitchens and bathrooms on the reserve, 250 kilometres north of Winnipeg. The mould, which band officials believe is caused by a nearby dam, is so severe several houses need to be destroyed.
