SHOAL LAKE, Ont.\u2014Prime Minister Justin Trudeau hauled large jugs of drinking water and spoke with school children Thursday as he was immersed in the daily struggles of an isolated reserve that has been under a boil advisory for 19 years.<\/p>\n

Trudeau spent seven hours on Shoal Lake 40 First Nation\u2014a man-made island near the Manitoba-Ontario boundary, cut off from the mainland a century ago during construction of an aqueduct that carries fresh water to Winnipeg.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was an extraordinary day.<\/p>\n

It was a day for him to see and feel it, our daily struggles here,\u201d Chief Erwin Redsky said afterward.<\/p>\n

The visit was deemed a private one, closed to all media outlets except Vice Canada, which is shooting a documentary on the tour.<\/p>\n

Trudeau hopped onboard a truck used to haul 20-litre jugs of water and delivered them to three homes, Redsky said. He visited every classroom in the local school, talked to elders and later watched a hockey game at the local arena.<\/p>\n

The federal government, along with Manitoba and the City of Winnipeg, recently committed to building an all-weather road that will connect the community to the Trans-Canada Highway. The reserve is not remote\u2014it’s less than an hour away from Kenora, Ont.<\/p>\n

\u2014but it has been isolated economically and in terms of basic services by the lack of a dependable roadway.<\/p>\n

The few hundred residents use an aging ferry to access health care, shopping and other necessities in the summer and a treacherous ice road in the winter. People have died falling through the ice. A road will also make construction of a water treatment plant affordable.<\/p>\n

Redsky said he was not looking for any new specific promises from Trudeau, just a commitment to an improved relationship with First Nations. He said Trudeau gave him a firm promise \u201cto be a full partner in our treaty relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n

A permanent road was originally estimated to cost $30 million but that has been revised to $46 million after a detailed design study.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
