Kinew says Manitoba hotel owners should step up for wildfire evacuees
- On June 13, 2025, Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew criticized some hotel owners for not adequately supporting wildfire evacuees across the province.
- This criticism comes in the wake of wildfire-related evacuations affecting approximately 21,000 individuals from various locations such as Flin Flon, the Pimicikamak Cree Nation, and surrounding communities.
- Creemergency, a collaboration involving Kashechewan First Nation and the O'Briens Group, was launched on June 8 to support evacuees from Sandy Lake by providing transportation, meals, security, and communication services.
- Creemergency CEO Tyson Wesley highlighted that the organization offers comprehensive support to evacuees and stressed the importance of increased federal funding alongside more compassionate evacuation practices.
- Beginning Saturday morning, officials permitted the 600 residents of Cranberry Portage to move back into their community, while authorities in Flin Flon are developing a plan for residents to safely re-enter amid a nearby wildfire spanning 3,000 square kilometres.
