Members of the Indigenous community and supporters will host a solidarity walk in downtown Niagara Falls on Friday to protest how Indigenous people evacuated from Kashechewan First Nation were portrayed at a recent city council meeting. Controversy erupted after a former chief administrative officer for the City of Niagara Falls told council that some residents may have the mistaken impression that evacuees from Kashechewan are experiencing homelessness.
