Fisher River, Man.

A weekend fire gutted the Fisher River Indian band's community centre causing an estimated $3 million damage to the centre located on the reserve 240 km north of Winnipeg.

The fire destroyed an arena, a cafeteria and the band offices.

A meeting will be held on the reserve to decide how to deal with the loss of the centre described by Chief Wesley Hart as the mainstay of the 1,000 member band.
