A wastewater backup at Foyer Père Fiset Nursing Home in Chéticamp on Wednesday, October 8, caused significant flooding within the facility. Two residential wings were affected, impacting 44 of the 70 residents.
As a result, 10 residents will be temporarily relocated to other long-term facilities in Cape Breton. The full extent of the damage is still being assessed.
