$250,000,000 for 1,800 people.
Thats about $140,000 per person.
Assume an average family of 4. Thats $560,000 per family being spent.
Any bets on how long before this reserve floods again?

OTTAWA — Indian Affairs Minister Jim Prentice has signed a $250-million agreement toward rebuilding, but not moving, the flood-prone Kashechewan First Nation.
The remote northern Ontario reserve of about 1,800, near the coast of James Bay, is on low-lying land that has flooded twice in the last three years.
Residents were also evacuated in 2005 because of a dirty water crisis that made international headlines.
