Ottawa Sending Armed Forces Support to Evacuate Northwestern Ontario First Nation as Wildfires Spread

  • Sandy Lake First Nation received an evacuation order on Saturday as Red Lake 12 advanced within two kilometres, leading to over 1,000 people evacuated via nine flights by Sunday.
  • Prime Minister Carney assured that the government is ready to deploy all necessary support to protect Canadians, confirming the Canadian Armed Forces' involvement in evacuation and relief operations.
  • The Canadian Armed Forces continue aiding evacuations, while fire suppression efforts and community support remain active amid ongoing wildfire growth and multiple regional emergencies.
