Louise Beaulieu, a Fort Smith town councillor, said they need the water services to be fully operational before they can be sure the water is safe to drink."As they enter they're going to see a lot of burnt area," she said. Patients of the Northern Lights Special Care Home in Fort Smith, N.W.T. will not be able to return until health care operations reach full capacity.
The news release says that the emergency department will have 24 hour on-site services, but that some patients requiring admission may need to be transferred to other facilities. The lab will be operating at full capacity starting Monday, while primary care will be at 50 per cent capacity up until Sept. 22.
