Vacation plans for campers and cabin owners alike are being affected by wildfires in northern Saskatchewan.
Eight campgrounds at Narrow Hills Provincial Park and the Churchill River campground at Lac La Ronge Provincial Park will stay closed until Monday. And people with cabins in the area have been told they’re on evacuation standby, or already have left.
David Sereda went to his family’s cabin at Lower Fishing Lake on Wednesday and was planning to leave Tuesday. When he saw a crew setting up barricades on the highway near his cabin, he figured his vacation plans were changing.
Camping season is upon us, as are nearly 130 active wildfires and a blistering heat wave.
All of that is causing some campers to stay home, and campsites to shut down.
“In a couple of our more northern parks, we have seen some cancellations,” Jennifer Johnson, the assistant deputy minister in the Parks Division of the Ministry of Parks, Culture and Sport, said Thursday.
“There are fires near Meadow Lake Provincial Park and Lac La Ronge Provincial Park, and so we have actually proactively closed some of our more remote campgrounds that are even closer to the fires.
“(In) some of our other campgrounds that aren’t impacted by the fires directly but are impacted by the smoke, we’ve been seeing some campers choosing to cancel their reservations.”
