Members of the Blood Tribe of Alberta are returning home after a major storm led to flooding and power outages on the reserve.
A heavy, wet snowfall caused flooding last week. It caused power outages on the reserve and throughout southern Alberta.
Some tribal members stayed in hotels and others found help at two shelters on the reserve that were set up by Canadian Red Cross. Power has been restored but there are concerns about contamination, food and water.
