Wildfires across Manitoba have forced many communities to evacuate and the number of displaced people in the province is getting close to 20,000.
With hotel space filling up all across the south, special accommodations are being set up and several hundred evacuees have already arrive at the Portage Curling Club located in CanadInns, with that space becoming home for the next while.
The entire community of Flin Flon and the surrounding area have been evacuated and the only ones who remain are those who are fighting the fires and many other communities have been affected.
The Canadian Red Cross is working with Indigenous leaders and local governments to support those affected.
