STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOS - The government of British Columbia said it would largely lift travel restrictions to the province's wildfire-hit interior on Tuesday, as rain and cooler weather helped hold back blazes across western Canada.
Canada is experiencing its worst wildfire season on record and in the past week more than 50,000 people, including the entire population of the Northwest Territories' capital Yellowknife, have been forced to flee their homes. "I really am beginning to feel like we're turning the corner here on this fire," West Kelowna fire chief Jason Brolund told a news conference.
"...The efforts in partnership with the federal government, with First Nations and others on recovery has started already," British Columbia Premier David Eby told a news conference in West Kelowna.
