“We believe the lack of water within this region might have contributed to the number of cases, particularly when individuals wouldn’t have enough water to actually maintain good hygiene in the setting of a crowded home situation,” said Ndubuka.

McDonald said she expects issues with the water plant to be resolved this weekend. A new pump was to be flown into the community, along with about 75 cleaning kits to be passed out.

“It feels like there’s other people doing the same thing as you, and we share what we’re doing and they bring in special guest artists, singers, musicians, other beaders,” said Demerah.

From North Sydney to the Northern Territory: How cultural exchange program could become a pilot for the rest of the country

More provinces sign up for rent benefit as Liberals set up promised housing council

The jointly funded federal-provincial housing benefit is tied to an individual, rather than a subsidized unit that someone could lose when they move to a different dwelling.The Liberals have added more programs to the strategy over time, including a $1-billion, short-term initiative to help cities and housing providers buy properties and turn them quickly into affordable housing units.

Municipalities have said they plan to spend the money quickly to force the case for the government to top up the fund.
