‘Heavy blow’: Wilderness outfitters shut down by massive forest fires in Quebec
While some have been closed due to active fires, dozens of others have been forced to cancel reservations by a government order limiting access to forests in much of the province.
Dugré said only one outfitter’s operation has been confirmed to have burned, but it’s impossible to know whether others in the fire zones have been damaged or destroyed.“There is insurance for the infrastructure, but there’s no insurance for the loss of revenue, and we’re talking about thousands and thousands of dollars each day,” he said. “So, if the situation is still here in two weeks, we’re talking about hundreds of thousands of dollars for a single outfitter.
Trudel said he left the area along with his customers and staff on Thursday, at the recommendation of Quebec’s forest fire prevention service, SOPFEU. As of Saturday evening, access to the area and many other forests was restricted by the provincial government.“At the moment, I don’t know, because we don’t have road access, so we can’t go there. We can’t fly over in a plane because of the smoke.
