Two wildfire evacuations set to end, another begins in ongoing dry Prairie summer

After weeks—and in some cases, months—of smoke, evacuations, and uncertainty, some Prairie communities are finally seeing a glimmer of relief. Residents of Tataskweyak Cree Nation and Beauval are beginning their return home, grateful but cautious. Others, like those in Cormorant, are just now being forced to flee. Fires continue to rage across Manitoba and Saskatchewan, with over 10,000 square kilometers scorched. As crews race to contain the flames, the season is already being called the worst in a generation. And it’s far from over.
