Wildfires Force Evacuations in Ontario | Montreal News
About this episode
Wildfires in northwestern Ontario have led to evacuations and significant community impacts, while some areas are beginning to reopen as conditions improve.
Wildfires rage across northwestern Ontario, with 47 out of 140 fires still spreading — the biggest, Thunder Bay 36, scorched over 318,000 hectares. Evacuations are underway in communities like Thunder Bay and Fort Frances, with key highways shut down and OPP aiding residents to flee. Over 2,400 people, including 10 First Nations, have been relocated. Meanwhile, northeastern Ontario faces 43 active fires, five uncontrolled. But there’s good news: Thunder Bay is reopening beaches, pools, and golf courses as air quality improves — though they’re staying vigilant.
