State of emergency in Norway House

A state of emergency has been declared in Norway House, a Northern Manitoba first nation...
A ferry that delivers food and fuel to the community has been stuck in thick ice in the Nelson River since Saturday.
Band councillor Michael Muswagon says the community of six-thousand could run out of such essentials as milk, eggs, and bread as soon as Wednesday.
An icebreaking machine is on its way to Norway House, 460-kilometres north of Winnipeg.
