The Kinew government has lifted the province-wide State of Emergency, which was invoked on May 28th by the wildfire situation in Northern Manitoba.
Residents of Flin Flon are beginning to return to the community this week, while other Northern residents started to return to their homes the weekend of June 14th.
Despite the state of emergency being lifted, the evacuation orders set by some local authorities remain in place until deemed safe to return.
Lisa Naylor, the minister responsible for the Emergency Measures Act, thanked the front-line responders, the Emergency Management Organization, and government departments for their continued efforts during this wildfire crisis.
