Residents of Colville Lake, N.W.T., say their community needs a new school, and they're wondering why it's taking so long for that to happen. In the meantime, some incoming portable buildings are being called a "Band-Aid solution."
Construction won't start until at least 2027 on the proposed 281-kilometre Mackenzie Valley Highway that would run from Wrigley to Norman Wells, N.W.T. The project is expected to take 10 years to build.
The power went out for about half the community at around 11:45 a.m. on Wednesday. About 25 to 30 customers were affected, including the school and the airport.
