Pikangikum First Nation is located about 90 kilometres north of Red Lake, Ontario
PIKANGIKUM FIRST NATION, Ont. A new, first-of-its-kind transition home means that residents of Pikangikum First Nation no longer have to travel to Kenora for a bail hearing.
According to a news release Tuesday from Indigenous Services Canada, the Kii-we-yan Bail Bed and Transition Home will provide temporary shelter and healing services for Pikangikum members, including those on bail or serving intermittent sentences.
