- Mayor Roland Stanke announced the Clinton Wildfire Recovery Fund to support impacted neighbours, stating, "When something goes wrong, we all face it together," while acknowledging personal losses.
- Residents can access ongoing support at the Clinton Curling Club, where the resiliency centre operates on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. until at least Sept. 24.
- Face-to-Face interactions remain vital for healing, according to Kayla Pepper, whose 17 years supporting wildfire-affected communities showed that connections help residents recover together.
