Evacuees from York Factory First Nation are headed home.
Leadership in the community announced late Wednesday night that starting today, residents of York Landing staying in Winnipeg will start their trek home.
"Red Cross is arranging the flights and buses and will send a schedule of the flights when the flights are confirmed," said the leadership in a memo. "These flights are from Winnipeg to York."
Anyone staying in Winnipeg is asked to pack and be ready for the flights.
"Thank you for the tremendous work you all did to support our people during this evacuation," said the leadership. "We knew it was very difficult for them being displaced and being away from home, but your work assisted them, and we are very grateful."
The Manitoba Wildfire Service continues to respond to 25 active wildfires across the province.
