‘It’s just like somebody passing away’: Thunderchild First Nation loses only church to fire
Fred Thunderchild and his wife Alvina were roused in the early hours of Sept. 1 by a phone call from a neighbour. Their church was on fire.
The couple, who are co-pastors, rushed to the church on Thunderchild First Nation, which is approximately 210 kilometres from Saskatoon, as soon as they heard.
“When we got there, it’s already pretty well all smokey, like from the seams and from the doors,” Fred said.
