Wildfires near Flin Flon and The Pas are still impacting residents in the region.

The RM of Kelsey has a reception centre at the Wescana Inn in The Pas to register evacuees from Cranberry Portage.     Residents were told to leave Sunday as the fire burned to within one and a half kilometres of the community.
