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.

Boil Water Advisory
The final connection on the City of Kenora's new water line is expected to be complete after the Thanksgiving long weekend.
Due to the on going work, the City and the Northwestern Health Unit decided to leave the boil water advisory in place as a precaution.
Operations Manager Rick Perchuk says the advisory impacts Keeatin, Norman and Tunnel Island.
The health unit will be sampling the water after the final connection is made.
It could be mid week before the advisory is lifted; since it takes several days for the tests to come back.
