The Fort Resolution District Education Authority met with a newly formed parent coalition this week. The coalition called for the special meeting after serious allegations about Deninu School as a workplace and educational centre surfaced in the media.
The Northwest Territories Power Corporation said it cut power to the Taltson hydro transmission line after a forest fire in the area likely caused an interruption on it. Now the communities of Fort Smith, Fort Resolution, Hay River, Enterprise and K’átł’odeeche First Nation are running on diesel instead.
A former N.W.T. MP and Fort Smith mayor says his community has always had lower rates because of its close proximity to the Taltson hydro system, and he doesn't want to give that up.
The Northwest Territories Power Corporation is asking the N.W.T. Public Utilities Board to approve a range of rate hikes, but people in Fort Smith say rates in their community are increasing too rapidly and they want alternatives to be considered.
Over the next seven years, the NWT Métis Nation plans to use $20 million to get more homes in the communities.
