Minister says Indigenous Services Canada is available to help arrange supports for the family and community
PEAWANUCK — Communities throughout the north are pulling together for a Peawanuck family who lost their home and their daughter in a fire over the weekend.
Randy Cota and his wife set up the fundraiser for the family to collect donations so they can begin to rebuild. She has put together a raffle to raise some money for the family. Tickets are $20 and the prize is a round-trip flight from Timmins to any of the northern communities donated by Thunder Airlines.
"On Sunday, I spoke with Chief Hunter to express my condolences and confirm that Indigenous Services Canada is available to help coordinate supports to the family and community. Our officials are in contact with Chief Hunter and Peawanuck and working with all partners in the region, including Weeneebayko Area Health Authority. We will provide more updates as they become available.”
