WINNIPEG — Former United States president Jimmy Carter has been treated for dehydration while volunteering with Habitat for Humanity in Winnipeg.

A spokesman for the home-building charity told reporters at the work site that Carter, who is 92, received medical attention as a precaution, but is fine.

Carter was in Edmonton earlier this week helping the charity with a project there.

He has long been active with the non-profit group, which builds affordable housing for low-income earners.
