Crisis can strike without warning, whether it is caused by people or nature, and in my own case as well as every person from my home community of Fort Hope. We are going through a disaster — or a crisis — as I had said at the beginning.
This incident had left hundreds of my fellow community members without running water in their homes, including my own. People in the community had come together to help one another by providing water from the land for drinking, cleaning and flushing, also an emergency team was formed to plan and execute the evacuation of elders and families with small children out of the reserve.Those who stayed behind to help in any way they can, I commend them as well.
I admit, it was beginning to get difficult having no running water at home, especially with three children and one of them being only a one-year-old. Bathing them was a challenge and the constant cleaning was another challenge. Most of the time we stayed in, like any other day before the crisis. I got word from radio announcements, also from other family members, that they were looking at Niagara Falls Days Inn being the host for the community members, with the Vahalla Hotel and Conference Centre in Thunder Bay being full to capacity. I was skeptical at first, weighing out the pros and cons of going. Pros included being able to bath my children and myself, getting to see the Falls and experiencing it with my children.
