Twelve drug or alcohol addicted residents have decided to seek treatment rather than face eviction from this aboriginal community northwest of Tofino.
John Frank, chief councillor of the Ahousaht First Nation, said Wednesday the band is now working to get the final person into a drug-and-alcohol treatment program.
"The last straw's today," said Frank. "They've got to go up there by nightfall."
This is not the first time the band has ordered members to seek treatment or get out.
In March, the Ahousaht First Nation's hereditary chiefs and leaders sent 30 people to treatment for eight weeks after community members demanded something be done about the village's addiction problems.
The band also took similar action three years ago.
Ahousat is located on Flores Island, a 45-minute boat ride northwest of Tofino.
