Hot and dry conditions have triggered an intense and early start to wildfire season in Alberta. As of past Wednesday, there were 91 wildfires burning in the forest protection area of Alberta, including 27 out of control. The number of evacuees has dropped to about 12,000 from a peak of more than 30,000 people earlier this month.

We will continue to work closely with our partner organization in Alberta, in monitoring the situation and providing more relief to evacuees.
