York Factory wants Crown corporation to raise water levels in order to use ferry
A remote northern First Nation is calling on the province to order Manitoba Hydro to raise water levels in the area, after a “lifeline” ferry was grounded for the season.
York Factory First Nation Chief Darryl Wastesicoot said residents are essentially stuck because Split Lake’s level dropped too low for the provincially run ferry to operate.
