The chief of Kashechewan First Nation is once again calling on the federal government to help them find a solution to ongoing flooding problems.
The remote northern community has been plagued by flooding and evacuations once the spring thaw begins.
Chief Derek Stephen was in Ottawa Tuesday to once again voice his concerns.
Stephen released the results of an engineering report that deems the protective dike that separates the reserve from the Albany River inadequate.
He says band members and young kids would like the community to move.
Stephen says housing and feeding more than 1,500 residents in other communities costs roughly $280,000 a day.
He notes continued flooding has resulted in high rates of depression and suicide.
