Two Northwestern Ontario First Nations are celebrating the opening of new Nishnawbe-Aski Police Detachments.Kenora MP Greg Rickford was on hand as the facilities opened their doors in Sandy Lake and Fort Severn.
The Feds spent over 2.3-million dollars on the Detachments, while the Province threw in more than 2.1-million dollars.
First Nation officials in both communities say the new facilities provide better working conditions for police officers and ensure the safety of residents.
The Chief of Fort Severn credited Rickford for his personal intervention to get the Detachment constructed.
