Cold Lake First Nation and the city of Cold Lake aided evacuees, who were forced from their northern Saskatchewan homes due to wildfires in early July. More than 1,000 evacuees from La Ronge, Air Ronge and the Lac La Ronge Indian Band were bussed to Cold Lake, where they were housed in the local recreation facility and provided for by Red Cross. Cold Lake First Nation community members brought First Nation evacuees to their community providing freshly cooked traditional foods like moose meat, fish and bannock. Wildrose Bonnyville-Cold Lake MLA Scott Cyr applauded both Cold Lake First Nation and the city of Cold Lake for doing “an incredible job setting up accommodations, showing hospitality and providing strength during these difficult circumstances.”
