## Resource

Wildfires rage across northwestern Ontario, with 122 active blazes forcing evacuations and drawing in 100 firefighters from Mexico for critical support. While some First Nations communities like Aroland and Ojibway of Saugeen welcome residents home, others including Cat Lake and Mishkeegogamang are still in recovery mode — and Eabametoong First Nation plans to start bringing people back from Niagara Falls as early as Friday. Gull Bay First Nation still urges residents to flee, stressing safety above all. A public inquiry into Ontario’s emergency response is being called for as the largest fire, Thunder Bay 36, burns over 314,000 hectares and remains out of control. A yellow heat warning and road closures add to the crisis, highlighting the strain on local resources and the urgent need for better wildfire preparedness.
