Flooding forces evacuation of Manitoba reserve


Flooding has forced most of the residents of the Dauphin River First Nation in Manitoba to evacuate.

The only road leading to the reserve has been blocked since last Tuesday. Chief Emery Stagg said the water is three feet deep in some places.

Most of the 150 people on the reserve left last week but don't know when they can return. About 20 people have stayed behind.
