NORTHERN ONTARIO FIRST NATION FACES THIRD SUICIDE: A Northern Ontario First Nation says it needs immediate help in the wake of a third suicide. Last week’s death of Jenara Roundsky, 12, marks the third pre-teen member of the Wapekeka First Nation to die by suicide this year. A band spokesman says there are 10 and 12 year old boys and girls who are acting like front-line workers and first responders. The band says no help has arrived, but Health Canada has indicated that long-requested federal aid money should be in the band’s account next week.
