K’atlodeeche First Nation under state of alert

By Bailey Moreton

The K’atlodeeche First Nation has moved to a State of Alert, after one confirmed case of COVID-19 has been reported in the community.

Visiting is barred to homes on First Nation’s land, and in a post to Facebook, a spokesperson for KFN said people should avoid going to Elder’s houses or vulnerable people’s houses.

The post added that contact tracing has been completed and several families are isolating.

There’s currently two active cases in KFN and Hay River. The area as a whole has remained relatively unaffected by the COVID-19 outbreak, first in the Sahtu region and now in Yellowknife, with only six cases throughout that time.

The community had been under a state of emergency after a case was reported in August.

Search continues for ways to deal with 200,000 tons of arsenic dust at Giant Mine

Northwest Territories
Scientists presented projects for a more permanent solution to hundreds of thousands of tons arsenic dust from the mine. One method uses local beer to fuel a transformation of the toxic dust, while another tries to turn it into glass. Another proposed method looks at turning the dust into a highly sought commodity known as metallic arsenic. Additional proposals look whether robotic technology could allow crews to virtually pilot the extraction of the dust while “sipping coffee” from a distance.
