As wildfires continue to affect northern Manitoba, some of your communities may be hosting evacuees who have been displaced from their homes.
These individuals and families may be staying in local hotels or campgrounds or receiving care in local health centres or personal care homes.
Some people may also be staying in your community to be near their loved ones who have been transferred to Prairie Mountain Health facilities.
During this stressful and uncertain time, it is important that we work together to make evacuees feel welcome and supported.
I have attached two posters (you may only want to use the Fire Evacuee Information poster) that can be printed and placed throughout your community.
We are also trying to spread the information to local hotels and campgrounds where people may be staying, so if you can assist in making sure they receive a poster, that would be appreciated.
