Snow Lake Under a Voluntary Evacuation Order: Province Corrects Fire Information
- Hudbay Minerals suspended operations at its Snow Lake mine on June 4, 2025, following a precautionary evacuation notice for the town in northern Manitoba due to spreading wildfires.
- The suspension resulted from escalating wildfire risks about 20 kilometres from Snow Lake, prompting the town’s voluntary evacuation and Hudbay’s removal of non-essential staff from Flin Flon last week.

- Although operations have been temporarily halted, Hudbay remains confident it will achieve its yearly goals for Snow Lake due to strong results thus far and intends to restart activities once safety permits.
