Whitefish Bay Protest


Members of the Whitefish Bay First Nation say they want answers about what's happening with the school in their community.

A protest was held yesterday at BaiBombeh School south of Kenora.

The school was closed yesterday and there are questions about the band's handling  of education issues in the community.

The band recently fired the board and the education director of the education authority, and the principal and several teachers have quit their jobs.

The band is in financial difficulties after a 2009 audit found that Whitefish Bay is in deep debt.
