Residents of Attawapiskat are dealing with another problem. This time part of the local hospital became contaminated after a pipe split apart forcing the evacuation of patients to a hospital in Moose Factory. The MPP for the riding, Gilles Bisson is surprised that the pipe in question split apart considering it’s only two years old. Ministry of Health officials are on their way to the remote First Nation community to determine the extent of the damage. The manufacturer has also been called to look into why the pipe broke. It’s not known how long the hospital will remain closed.
