  • Authorities in Lynn Lake, a northern community in Manitoba, have announced a compulsory evacuation starting Friday due to a nearby wildfire that poses risks to residents' safety and could disrupt power supply.
  • Officials cautioned that a nearby wildfire threatens the primary power line supplying Lynn Lake, which may lead to an outage lasting a month or more.
  • More than 2,300 evacuees from Manitoba, including Alberteen Spence displaced since June 1 from Tataskweyak Cree Nation, were relocated to hotels in Niagara Falls amid ongoing fire threats and infrastructure issues.
  • Spence, displaced for over a month, spoke about the challenges some evacuees face with stress and limited possessions, and recalled spending a contemplative morning near the Niagara Falls where she prayed for the wildfire-impacted communities.
  • The evacuation and fire conditions highlight continued wildfire risks in Manitoba, with 60 wildfires burning and firefighters from Mexico, the U.S., and Parks Canada supporting containment efforts.
