The campaign to help an isolated reserve that's been without clean water for almost two decades is intensifying. A multi-faith group in Winnipeg is kicking off 10 days of action in support of Shoal Lake 40 First Nation. Lynda Trono, a Winnipeg community minister, says people are outraged the federal government has refused to help fund construction of a much-needed road. (The reserve, which straddles the Ontario-Manitoba boundary, was cut off from the mainland a century ago to build an aqueduct to Winnipeg. The band has no all-weather road and has been under one of the longest boil-water advisories in Canada.)
