Cloverdale Fire Slowly Growing East And Northeast By Newsroom

The Cloverdale Fire has grown a bit, but the Vice President of Operations with the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency expects the cooler weather will help in the fight to contain and exterminate the wildfire. Steve Roberts says the fire now exceeds 3,700 hectares and has grown to the East and Northeast, away from Prince Albert and into agricultural land, which has less fuel to keep the fire alive. The Berg Division of the R.M. of Garden River is under an evacuation order. Roberts estimates there are somewhere around 12 to 18 acreages in that area.
I now look forward to coming home and putting on my super comfy slippers I bought for myself as a Christmas present a phrase I never thought I would write about myself. I love the smell emitting from my slow-cooker while I wait for it in my warm, cozy apartment. I look around my apartment and realize how lucky I am to live in it, and still be able to pay the bills while so many people have not had that luxury. And I love how I can share all my little victories with my fiancée.
I challenged the rest of the newsroom to come up with a few lines about what they’ve found a new appreciation for, and how their perspective has changed throughout this pandemic– a newly-found gratitude board, if you will. We’re not professionals in this regard, we’re just sharing our journeys in the hopes it can help others.
