Chief pleads for help with 'ongoing and serious violence' in northern Sask.

A ban on all private gatherings, effective immediately, is one of the new public safety measures in Pelican Narrows, which is about 420 kilometres northeast of Saskatoon and part of Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation.

Leaders are also re-establishing security checkpoints and prohibiting the use of all-terrain vehicles and other off-road vehicles in the remote community.

It comes after a 26-year-old was killed in what community leaders said was a drive-by shooting committed by someone on an ATV.
