Got mildew? Get out! First Nation advises

WebPosted Aug 25 2004 01:53 PM MDT

PANGNIRTUNG - The chief of a First Nation in Northwestern Ontario is

offering some advice to people living in mildewy homes in Pangnirtung.

The Long Lake 58 First Nation declared a state of emergency three

years ago when residents discovered toxic black mould in their homes.

Nearly 300 people from the community of 400 had to move after

suffering from headaches, nosebleeds, dizziness, and other ailments.

Recently, five families had to be moved out of their homes in

Pangnirtung because of health concerns. And 17 other families are

complaining about a mildew smell.

Chief Waboose of the Long Lake 58 First Nation says that her

community did what it had to to protect residents – including going

into debt. She says residents of Pangnirtung should leave their

homes, no matter the cost.

People in Long Lake 58 First Nation moved into motels and apartments

in nearby towns during the crisis. Most of them are now living in

new, mould-free homes.

The homes in Pangnirtung have never been tested for mould

contamination. However, some residents are complaining of similar

ailments.
