Canada wildfires spread, forcing more than 33,000 to evacuate as smoke impacts U.S. and reaches Europe
Toronto — At least 33,400 people have been forced to evacuate their homes in three Canadian provinces due to active wildfires that are sending smoke drifting across the border into northern U.S. states and all the way across the Atlantic to Europe. As of Wednesday two deaths were blamed on the blazes. Officials have declared a state of emergency in Manitoba and Saskatchewan, where crews and military forces were battling this week to try to contain dozens of out-of-control fires. Some 17,000 people got evacuation orders in Manitoba alone, many of them seeking shelter in Winnipeg, while others were put up in hotels in Niagara Falls, in neighboring Ontario province. "This is the largest evacuation Manitoba will have seen in most people's living memory," Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew said during a news conference on May 29. All of Manitoba was under an "extreme fire danger" warning on Tuesday, according to the regional government. The Canadian armed forces were assisting with the evacuation of two separate Indigenous communities in the province. Kinwew confirmed that two people in the small town of Lac du Bonnet were killed, representing the first civilian casualties from wildfires in Manitoba's recent history, according to regional media reports. In Saskatchewan, about 15,000 people had been evacuated by Tuesday, according to the province's top public official.

Bruce Chad Thompson via REUTERS "We didn't have a very good day yesterday, with the weather the way it was, where the fires are and just how aggressive they are as they bear down on communities," Saskatchewan premier Scott Moe said Tuesday, according to The Canadian Press news agency. "We're probably approaching in the neighborhood of 15,000 people that have been evacuated across the province and being supported in communities throughout Saskatchewan, and more families are leaving their homes as we speak." In Alberta, more than 1,400 people were ordered to evacuate to shelters provided in hotels and other temporary accommodations. The province had 56 active wildfires as of Tuesday, 27 of them deemed out of control. Conditions did improve slightly, with cooler temperatures and higher humidity helping firefighters in Alberta, according to an update shared Tuesday by provincial officials. As of Tuesday, there were 21 active wildfires in Saskatchewan, according to the province's Public Safety Agency, including eight deemed completely uncontained. In Manitoba, there were 27 active fires on Tuesday, nine of them considered out of control, which is above the average for this time of year. According to the province's fire situation report, most of those fires were caused by human activity. As a precaution, Manitoba parks were advised to prepare for potential evacuations. Canada's wildfire season typically begins in April and lasts until late September, with most activity occurring in June and July. In recent years, however, it has started as early as February, due to warmer weather and drier conditions. Smoke from the wildfires has been impacting air quality in several U.S. states, including Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota. The smoke had reached parts of western Europe, too, according to climate monitoring services. "Smoke originating from the wildfires in the Canadian provinces of Manitoba and Saskatchewan has been transported across the Atlantic, reaching Europe during the last few days with forecasts showing further smoke transport this week," according to a statement published Tuesday by the European Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS). Firefighters, emergency crews and aircraft from other provinces, and from the U.S., were on their way to help fight the wildfires in Canada. "I've never seen anything like it, in the way of the ferocity of the fires, how quickly they're moving, how they're changing and encroaching on communities," Moe, the Saskatchewan premier whose home is lives close to some of the active fires, said according to national broadcaster CBC. While Alberta was seeing a slightly improved picture, in Manitoba and Saskatchewan, the forecast for the coming days was for strong winds and no precipitation, meaning little expected relief for the teams battling the fires. Canada faced its worst wildfire season on record in 2023. Eight firefighters were killed and a record 18 million acres scorched, making the blazes the biggest single emitter of carbon in the world that year.

Prince William Steps Into High-Profile Role Once Meant for Prince Harry amid Royal Rift
Prince William is having a royal first at a military regiment connected to his brother, Prince Harry. On June 4, the Prince of Wales and Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps visited the regiments for the first time in Wattisham, Suffolk. King Charles announced Prince William to the position in 2023 and ceremonially bestowed him with the role in 2024, in a controversial move made William the leader of his brother Harry's former regiment. The appointment made waves as the title was once thought to have been intended for the Duke of Sussex, 40, who stepped back from his royal role in 2020. Prince William, 42, appeared in good spirits as he stepped out on Wednesday, in what marked his first royal duty in over a week, while his children Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7, were off from school. Prince William and Kate Middleton typically scale back their schedules when their kids have vacation from school in order to spend more time together as a family and the latest break proved no different. William's visit to the airfield was actually a rescheduled outing, as he was originally due to visit in January. The Prince of Wales' office at Kensington Palace said then that poor weather at the last minute would have "significantly restricted the planned program" and sent William's regrets. "The Prince of Wales sends his sincere apologies to those who he had been due to meet and hopes to reschedule his visit at the earliest convenience," the palace said on Jan. 16. The royal made it to the base on June 4 for a firsthand introduction to the 4 Regiment Army Air Corps (4AAC) who are based at Wattisham. The AAC is the British Army's combat aviation arm and consists of several regiments recognizable by their unique blue berets. William traveled out to learn more about their work, as well as the 664 Squadron's operational lessons from global tours and how soldiers are adapting to the new Apache AH-64E, the British Army's attack helicopter. William is then expected to attend a combat PT session and spend time at the "Archer's Breakfast," a weekly social gathering organized by the squadron for service personnel and their families. Prince William (who you can also call "Colonel") will also present a King's Commendation for Valuable Service and award soldiers with promotion from Corporal to Sergeant. The Prince of Wales knows well the dedication it takes to succeed in army aviation. The heir to the throne is a trained military pilot who served with the Royal Air Force's Search and Rescue Force at RAF Valley in Anglesey, North Wales, from 2010 to 2013. He later retrained as an Air Ambulance Pilot and worked for East Anglian Air Ambulance from 2015 to 2017, and retired from that role to take on royal duties full-time. William isn't the only pilot in the family — so is his brother, Harry. The Duke of Sussex began training as an Army Air Corps pilot in 2009 and served with the Corps during his second tour in Afghanistan from 2012 to 2013, where he flew Apache helicopters. Prince Harry retired from the Army in 2015 and then dedicated himself to uplifting service personnel through the Invictus Games international adaptive sports tournament he founded. The Duke of Sussex and his wife Meghan Markle took a seismic step back from their royal roles in 2020 and Harry lost his military appointments as the change was made permanent. King Charles, 76, officially made William the Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps in a military ceremony at the Army Aviation Centre in Hampshire in May 2024, appointing his elder son to the position he was in for 32 years. Can't get enough of PEOPLE's Royals coverage? to get the latest updates on Kate Middleton, Meghan Markle and more! Charles first announced that William would take on the job in a reshuffling of military appointments for several working royal family members in 2023, and praised William's aerial skills in a speech there. "I did just want to say what a great joy it is to be with you even briefly on this occasion," King Charles said in a brief speech at the ceremony in May 2024, Hello! magazine reported. "But also tinged with great sadness after 32 years of knowing you all and admiring all your many activities and your achievements throughout the time, I've been lucky enough to be Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps." "The great thing is he's a very good pilot indeed so that's encouraging," he added. "So ladies and gentlemen, look after yourselves and, and, and I can't tell you how proud it has made me to be involved with you all this time." Read the original article on People
