Hundreds of people from La Loche and the Clearwater River Dene Nation in northern Saskatchewan have been forced to leave due to the threat of a nearby wildfire.
Buses with people from La Loche left early Friday for the provincial capital, where they are to receive shelter and support at a hotel and at the University of Regina. Staff with the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency brought food, bottled water, diapers and comforters to dozens of evacuees arriving at a downtown hotel.
