KASHECHEWAN FIRST NATION – Reggie Wesley has no running water in his home on Kashechewan First Nation in northern Ontario.

Instead, he’s forced to collect water bottles.

He stores hundreds of these bottles throughout his home just to get through daily tasks, like cooking, cleaning, and drinking.

“I had to go to the water plant to get water,” he told CTV News at his home on Monday. “I had to go to my nephew’s place for showers.”
