Summary
Northern Ontario is in crisis as 189 wildfires rage across the region, with 139 still burning fiercely and covering thousands of hectares. Over two dozen communities—including ten First Nations—are under evacuation orders, with hundreds of families relocated by air to safer ground. Emergency crews and aircraft from Alberta and Yukon are pouring in to help, while officials stress no one should return to evacuated zones. Though air quality is improving in places like Thunder Bay, reopening facilities remains slow—outdoor pools and beaches are still closed as crews battle to contain the flames and protect lives.
