Pikangikum First Nation School

It's back to school time for kids in the Pikangikum First Nation.


A number of elementary and secondary classes were cancelled earlier this month because of mould problems in the teacher's living quarter.

Chief Jonah Strang says the band was able to co-operate with the Federal Government to bring in some new trailers and clean up the mould in some of the existing homes.

He says students from kindergarten to Grade 8 are already back at school, and secondary school pupils will be back next week.

Strang says a cold snap should make the ice road solid enough to bring the trailers in over the next few days
