‘I’d love kids to be able to play year-round,’ says Chief Sam Knott
The hockey arena in Red Sucker Lake First Nation has the potential to offer much-needed recreation in one of Manitoba’s most remote communities — but it sits half-finished, without dressing rooms, bleachers or heat.
“The weather up here is very cold in the winters. We have kids, five-year-olds, six-year-olds, they love the sports, they like to skate,” said Sam Knott, chief of Red Sucker Lake, a fly-in community of about 1,100 people that’s roughly 700 kilometres northeast of Winnipeg.
