It was an emotional 2 days moving residents into their new homes, chief says
K’atl’odeeche First Nation residents affected by last year’s wildfire season in the N.W.T. have finally moved back and into new homes, bringing a sense of relief and closure to a long and challenging process for the community.
For Louis Tambour and his dog, Fluffy, it’s been an adjustment, but he’s grateful for the renewed sense of stability and comfort. Tambour and Fluffy lived in a cramped Hay River motel room from May 2023 until they moved into their new home last month.
“This place is a lot better than staying in the motel room,” he said. “The motel was kind of small, but now I have a big room here.”
