Weather improving: Some Ontario fire evacuees staying in Regina heading home
REGINA — Some evacuees who were put up in Regina when they were forced to flee a wildfire in northwestern Ontario are heading home.
Last week, Saskatchewan agreed to welcome about one-quarter of roughly 2,000 members from the Pikangikum First Nation as a forest fire raged near their community.
Rain in the last few days has helped fightfighting crews gain ground on what had been a blaze that covered about 450 square kilometres.
A spokesman for Saskatchewan’s public safety agency says about 35 people flew back to their home on Tuesday.
