Significant improvements have happened in the wildfire situation on the Little Red River Cree Nation with the Semo Complex Fires.

After more than a week – and, for residents of Garden River, almost three weeks – members of the Nation were told by Chief Conroy Sewepagaham they will be going home.

“We’ll have the re-entry process starting on August 5th” he said in a video announcement posted on Facebook.

Preparation for re-entry would include making sure that all the necessary infrastructure and utilities are fully operational.

That includes making sure that the grocery stores are stocked, and that there’s enough fuel for the communities’ needs, as well as maintaining fire protection measures.
