Chief April Martel of the KSA国际影视传媒檃tlodeeche First Nation says she was denied entry to the Town of Hay River on May 13 despite trying to pick up goods and supplies to help clean up her reserve.

The municipality has a checkpoint at the highway junction on Highway 2 but Martel was livid in not being able to gain access when she reached the Hub on Friday afternoon.

SA国际影视传媒淲e need supplies for the reserve and to get stuff in the Town of Hay River and we have to go back and forth,SA国际影视传媒� Martel explained, noting that she has a contingent of about 10 volunteers helping.

Some members are in hotels in town but most of everyone else from KFN has evacuated to outlying communities.

SA国际影视传媒淰olunteers are going back and forth to shower to eat and weSA国际影视传媒檙e cleaning up as much as we can and then they do this to my people?SA国际影视传媒� she said in frustration.

Martel said she provided a list of people who need to get into the town on both Friday morning and then again by text in the afternoon to Mayor Kandis Jameson.

But the Chief said she shouldnSA国际影视传媒檛 even be denied at all.

SA国际影视传媒淚SA国际影视传媒檓 so upset right now and ISA国际影视传媒檓 so mad,SA国际影视传媒� she said pointing out that the community was responsible for evacuating its own residents and didnSA国际影视传媒檛 have the assistance of officers who were denying her entry to the municipality.

The Hub was unable to get a response from Jameson as to why KFN members would be kept out when a message was left on Friday afternoon.

However the mayor said earlier in the day that she was under quite a bit of stress keeping people from entering because the water and sewer system is under incredible strain and backed up due to flooding.

SA国际影视传媒淎nybody that is here now is taxing the system hugely,SA国际影视传媒� she said. SA国际影视传媒淪o now, all ISA国际影视传媒檓 trying to do is mitigate more damage.

SA国际影视传媒淲e need people to remain where they are and be patient with us. Give us 48 hours to make sure this community is safe before anybody can come back. ISA国际影视传媒檓 trying to get people to understand that the sewer system is unreal.SA国际影视传媒�

The municipality reiterated that point in its daily advisory on Friday stating that only recovery workers are allowed into the community and that the town is strictly keeping anybody else out.

SA国际影视传媒淪everal areas of the Town are currently inaccessible, and water and sewer services are compromised,SA国际影视传媒� the advisory states. SA国际影视传媒淏oil water order is still in effect.

SA国际影视传媒淚t is critical that residents understand that their presence here is detrimental to our recovery effort. SA国际影视传媒淭he sewer infrastructure system is interconnected, and wastewater will impact other zones.SA国际影视传媒�
