Yet another children's aid agency in the Kenora and Rainy River districts is feeling the pinch from recent government cuts.

It was revealed at Queen's Park yesterday that Wee-chi-ti-win Family Services lost 941-thousand as part of a 4-point-5 million dollar cut to six native agencies.

N-D-P leader Andrea Horwath joined aboriginal leaders in calling for a moratorium on those cuts.

Aboriginal Affairs Minister Brad Duguid says his ministry to working with the agencies to find solutions, but noted several millions of dollars had been provided to help children in need.
