PIKANGIKUM FIRST NATION, Ont. — Overnight nursing services have resumed at Pikangikum First Nation, 230 kilometres north of Kenora. Chief Dean Owen welcomed the return of the nurses on the weekend, saying residents consider them part of the community "and appreciate their role in keeping our members safe." Indigenous Services Canada began flying the nursing staff out of the community each night because of safety concerns, after Pikangikum council ordered the OPP to leave the First Nation on March 19, citing allegations of misconduct. Matthew Hoppe, the CEO of the Independent First Nation Alliance, said Monday that the community's leaders met with Indigenous Services Minister Marc Miller and his staff on Saturday.
