Some wildfire evacuees returned to northeastern Manitoba, but more than 2,000 people are still in trouble
Evacuees from Red Sucker Lake First Nation in northeastern Manitoba began returning home on Monday after escaping the wildfire, but more than 2,000 people from four other indigenous people were still trapped.
The Canadian Red Cross, which coordinates flights, said that about 200 community members living in Winnipeg and Brandon will return home by Tuesday.
There are still more than 2,000 people evacuated from Pauingassi, Little Grand Rapids, the Belens River and the Aboriginal people living in hotel rooms, and they are not sure when they will return home.
