Nipissing First Nation has opened two sandbag pickup locations for residents in Beaucage and Jocko Point as a provincial flood warning remains in effect for Lake Nipissing
Nipissing First Nation (NFN) has sandbags available to residents at two locations. Beaucage residents can pick up sandbags at the end of Margaret Drive. Jocko Point residents can pick them up from the Jocko Point Fire Hall at 1082 Jocko Point Road.
“Sand and sandbags will be available to other NFN community residents only when required,” NFN staff emphasized in a release. Also, staff remind residents that NFN only provides sandbags to protect houses, driveways, and wellheads, not to stop shoreline erosion or waves.
