PM, B.C. PREMIER TO TOUR WILDFIRE DAMAGE
Justin Trudeau will see for himself today what hundreds of wildfires have done to B.C.. The prime minister is heading to Williams Lake with Premier John Horgan and several federal cabinet ministers. About 10,000 people fled Williams Lake more than two weeks ago when fires threatened to cut off access to vital highways. The residents began returning home last week but some 6,000 others are still waiting for evacuation orders to be lifted as 150 wildfires continue to burn.
