- Thousands of residents from Flin Flon, Manitoba, were allowed to return home on Wednesday after a nearly month-long evacuation due to nearby wildfires.

- Officials contained the wildfire outside Flin Flon, which spared homes and businesses, while the town set up a supply centre offering support for lingering smoke effects.
