A Manitoba band will get funding for a new school following their peaceful occupation of a federal government office.

The Peguis Band will receive between $400,000 and $500,000 to repair a 35-year-old school building damaged during spring flooding. As well, the band has assurances the federal government will co-operate in the building of a new facility, to be built in 1998.
