The Lac La Ronge Indian Band (LLRIB) communities of Grandmother’s Bay, Hall Lake and Stanley Mission are on standby notice due to smoky conditions.
That’s means the elderly, young children or residents with health conditions affected by bad air quality should be on alert to be evacuated and prepare one week’s work of medication, clothing and infant formula if needed. So far, 144 people have already voluntarily evacuated Grandmother’s Bay and are staying at hotels in La Ronge and Prince Albert.
