Evacuees from Marcel Colomb First Nation return home

The residents of Marcel Colomb First Nation began heading home from Thompson on Wednesday.

 

The residents were evacuated last week due to the wildfires near their community, and the Red Cross team in the city assisted the evacuation by offering lodging, food, transportation, and other support.

 

After spending a week in the city, community leadership determined that it is now safe for all 144 evacuees to return to Marcel Colomb, as the roads are in good condition and power has been restored.

 

The response was part of an agreement between the Canadian Red Cross and the federal government to provide all disaster assistance to Manitoba First Nations.
