Wildfire Season Returns to Canada, Forcing Provinces into State of Emergency
The Canadian provinces of Manitoba and Saskatchewan declare a state of emergency over fast-growing wildfires.

Chugs in the city!“This is the largest evacuation Manitoba will have seen in most people’s living memory,” said Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew on Wednesday.
At least 17,000 evacuation notices have been issued, rivaling the 25,000 evacuations during the massive Red River Valley flood of 1997. The communities of Flin Flon and Cross Lake were told to evacuate, along with the Cree Nation communities of Pimicikamak and Pukatawagan. The evacuees will be sheltered at community centers and arenas in Winnipeg.
