Province Promises to help Fort Hope

Aboriginal Affairs Minister Chris Bentley says officials are

looking for ways to help a remote First Nations community that has

declared a state of emergency.

There have been three murders and dozens of arsons and thefts in the last year on the the Fort Hope First Nation. 

Bentley says the province will work with the federal government to come up with a plan to help.

Earlier this week, Indian and Northern Affairs Minister John Duncan said calling in military reservists is one option.
