If you’ve gassed up at the Shawanaga First Nation Gas & Variety between Thursday and Monday and you’re having car trouble, Shawanaga officials ask you to call them.
CAO Maria Voinovski-Boucher says after testing the pumps accordingly, it turned out the premium pumps were in fact filled with diesel and the diesel pumps were filled with premium fuel.
According to letters posted to the FN’s Facebook page, the gas station’s pumps were shut down on Monday after officials were made aware something was amiss with the gasoline.
“If you have purchased either Diesel or Premium Fuel between Thursday, June 8th after 6:30 PM to Monday, June 12th before 2:00 PM and are currently experiencing issues, please contact me directly at the band office at 705-366-2526,” Voinovski-Boucher says.
Officials thanked the community for their time and patience as they investigated the matter and offered their sincerest apologies for any inconvenience caused.
