With Kenow fire being held, some Waterton townsite residents return home
WATERTON, AB — Slowly, but surely Waterton townsite residents are returning home after Parks Canada announced a phased re-entry this morning.
The scene at the entrance to the park was much different Tuesday than over the past couple of weeks.
Blue sky, and not much in the way of smoke greeted residents as they drove up to the gates, but the drive down Highway 6 gave a glimpse into the damage caused.
Fields of black surrounding the roadway amid patches of green forestry saved thanks to the work of local firefighters and emergency staff.
