Help For Manitoba wildfire evacuees
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.
Portage stands strong for northern neighbours
As the wildfire crisis in Manitoba continues, Portage la Prairie is stepping up in a big way. The Portage Curling Rink has become a temporary home for more than 230 evacuees from the north, with more expected to arrive in the coming days.
The province-wide state of emergency declared earlier this week has led to mass evacuations, with Premier Wab Kinew calling it “the largest evacuation Manitoba will have seen in most people’s living memory.”

Mayor of Flin Flon, Man., says fierce winds may cause wildfire to hit his city
The mayor of Flin Flon, Man., says fierce, shifting winds are threatening to propel a nearby raging wildfire into the city and begin burning structures.
"Unless we get one heck of a boost, it's projected to take chunks out of our town and surrounding areas," George Fontaine said in an interview Friday morning.
"It's looking very ugly right now."
Fontaine added, "We're trying to manage and maintain and keep our crews.
"We're begging for air support (to help douse the fire). It's really crucial."
