144 people voluntarily evacuated from Grandmother s Bay due to smoke

The non-mandatory evacuation was for priority groups including elderly residents, individuals with respiratory issues and young children, but was open for others who didn’t feel safe remaining. Lac La Ronge Indian Band includes Grandmother’s Bay, Morin Lake, La Ronge, Little Red River, Stanley Mission and Sucker River. Tammy Cook-Searson, Chief of the Band, said they’ve been in communication with Indigenous Services Canada, Red Cross, Prince Albert Grand Council and the Northern Inter-Tribal Health Authority. She said the majority of the evacuated population are staying in hotels in Prince Albert and La Ronge. La Ronge’s hotels are at full capacity.

City puts up fence outside Margo Fournier Centre

“With the shelter re-opening they now have an opportunity to go there for lodging, food, and refreshments,” Dionne said. “We hope that will solve a part of the problem.” Councilor for the ward, Tera Lennox-Zepp would like to see other things done, rather than seeing a fence put up. “A fence around a public building is not the direction I would like to see us take, and has not been debated at city council,” Lennox-Zepp said. “I do think we have some other options. “The issues being raised really do highlight our need for a public washroom downtown, and public spaces being available for a vulnerable citizens.”
