More than 25,000 residents in Canada’s prairie provinces have been forced to evacuate as dozens of wildfires remain active today, while states of emergency persist in Manitoba and Saskatchewan.
Many of the evacuated residents are from Manitoba, which declared a state of emergency last week, while some Saskatchewan and Alberta residents have also been told to leave their homes. Fires are also burning in Northern Ontario and British Columbia.
