Manitoba premier ends state of emergency as wildfire danger recedes, evacuees return
- Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew announced on Monday, June 23, 2025, that the provincewide state of emergency due to wildfires has been lifted.
- The state of emergency was initially declared on May 28 after out-of-control wildfires forced 22,000 people from their homes across the province.
- Currently, 23 wildfires remain active with seven out of control, including a 370,780-hectare fire near Flin Flon where about 6,000 evacuees have been displaced for weeks.
- Premier Kinew said about 9,000 of the 21,000 displaced residents have been allowed to return, and Transportation Minister Lisa Naylor noted hotel demand has stabilized as people prepare to return.
- Officials caution that local evacuation orders remain until communities deem it safe, and they urge patience as firefighting efforts continue despite improved fire conditions in most areas.
