HAY RIVER, N.W.T. — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is set to visit areas ravaged during a record wildfire season in the Northwest Territories today.
Trudeau is scheduled to meet with local leaders in Hay River and visit sites affected by recent wildfires.
Around 20 people have returned, but many remain elsewhere in the territory and other parts of Canada after their homes were destroyed. People in Hay River and the nearby Kátł'odeeche First Nation were forced to leave because of fire in May and again in August. Houses and the band office were damaged in Kátł'odeeche.
They all recount stories of fleeing the wall of smoke that quickly moved in on their community and the devastation they felt when they were able to return, finding the charred remains of the lives they had built. Mercredi said she came back to make sure her grandsons could continue school in nearby Hay River but they don’t have a permanent place to stay.
