The City of Yellowknife and a nearby First Nation say in a news release that wildfire evacuees may be able to return as soon as Sept. 6.
“This will help make re-entry safer and more organized,” Thompson said. “Please do not travel back toward the N.W.T.-Alberta border until Wednesday, Sept. 6. No supports are available in northern Alberta for residents considering moving north to wait for the order to be lifted.”
The lifting of the evacuation order for the capital city marks the final phase in a re-entry plan that is currently seeing essential personnel for critical services return. It said almost all health services in Yellowknife are suspended except for basic emergency department care, adding that the restart will have an initial focus on life-sustaining services.Article content
