The Canadian Red Cross says the evacuations from northern communities affected by wildfires are complete for the time being.
The agency said Monday about 4,300 people from the Island Lakes region, which includes Wasagamack, St. Theresa Point and Garden Hill First Nations were flown out of their communities.
A Red Cross spokesperson told CTV News about 760 people have arrived in Winnipeg over the past two days, and it’s now been advised from community leadership that no further evacuations are needed at this time.
