Shoal Lake Residents get ready for Trek to Winnipeg

Members of the Shoal Lake #39 First Nation are getting ready to embark on a walk to the Manitoba capital.

The march gets underway at 9:00 this morning and make its way to Winnipeg.

Shoal Lake is continuing its campaign against Winnipeg's plan to take water from the lake and sell it to other communities in southern Manitoba.

Ontario Regional Chief Angus Toulouse and grand chief of Treaty Three will be addressing the issue this afternoon.
