A family evacuated from their community returned home to find their house had been destroyed by a fire.
But the home will not be replaced because of an already high demand for housing ds in the area.
The family of four from Sandy Lake First Nation was evacuated because of forest fires last month. They returned Sunday to find that their home, and all of their possessions stored inside that couldn’t be taken because of the evacuation, had been destroyed.
There are about 200 families in the community on a wait list for new homes. Due to a lack of resources, the family won’t be getting a replacement home.
The cause of the fire is under investigation. An account has been set up to help the family get a new home.
