‘There were some steps missed': Environment Canada offers more details after retracting Sask. tornado confirmation
A photo posted to social media depicting a supposed tornado near Fort Walsh, Sask. on May 17, 2025. The tornado confirmation was later retracted by Environment Canada. (Photo Courtesy: Dre Erwin Photography) Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) says steps were missed in its verification process after it retracted a claim that a tornado touched down in southwest Saskatchewan in mid-May. The national weather service first issued its confirmation on May 20. ECCC claimed that a tornado had touched down near Fort Walsh, Sask. at around 5:30 p.m. on May 17. The organization would later retract its ruling on June 5. Danielle Desjardins, a warning preparedness meteorologist with ECCC, told CTV News the service missed several steps in its verification process. 'So, in this situation, the tornado confirmation was sent out too quickly,' she said. 'There were some steps missed in our process. We do have quite a robust process in confirming tornadoes and upon further assessment of the reports and any meteorological evidence that we had of the situation, we've deemed that we can no longer confirm that a tornado has occurred.' According to Desjardins, thunderstorm conditions in the Maple Creek region the evening of May 17 only offered a slim chance of a tornado developing. 'It definitely wasn't a situation that would have produced those strong, supercell-type tornadoes that day,' she explained. 'There was a really small possibility that you could have had a brief landspout tornado touch down, but that was a very small chance.' According to ECCC, it receives reports of severe weather from the public from various sources, including by email, phone calls to its storm line and social media. The service's meteorologists assess the reports and compare them to expected weather, radar and satellite imagery. Desjardins confirmed that ECCC did receive a photo of the now unconfirmed tornado. The photo was thought to be plausible and in addition to the meteorological conditions at the time — a confirmation was sent out. After meteorologists received additional photos of the thunderstorm from the same time period — they reviewed all other information and rescinded the confirmation. Desjardins noted that the service has received questionable evidence of severe weather in the past — a problem she is not expecting to go away anytime soon. 'I would say that we have definitely received questionable photos. This isn't anything new to us,' she said. 'It may become more common, and especially with Photoshop, AI … I don't foresee that problem going away, I guess, anytime in the near future.' She added that in situations where there are multiple sources, as well as tangible damage left behind, the issue of confirmation is much easier. According to Desjardins, the weather agency is working to ensure that a similar incident does not happen again. 'We do take this very seriously, and we are ensuring that this doesn't happen in the future by making sure everyone's on the same page with respect to our process for confirming the tornadoes.' The investigation into the May 17 thunderstorm and possible tornado remains ongoing.

Sask. premier to speak after province's support of wildfire evacuees called into question
Volunteer firefighters from Davidson, Sask., load up their truck at the Provincial Wildfire Center in Prince Albert, Sask., Wednesday, June 4, 2025. The fire fighters are on their way to Weyakwin. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Liam Richards Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe is scheduled to speak to reporters in Saskatoon this morning – after the province's ombudsman announced she will be reviewing how the province has supported wildfire evacuees. Saskatchewan ombudsman Sharon Pratchler says her office will be conducting a 'systemic investigation' after receiving a surge of complaints and calls for assistance from evacuees in the wake of the northern wildfires. Pratchler says evacuees have reported waiting days for responses from the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency (SPSA) – with many also saying they've encountered trouble finding evacuation information, lodging and financial support. SPSA President Marlo Pritchard says his organization is aware of the backlog in supports. In response to this, he says 14 more SPSA employees have been assigned to staff the organization's 1-855-559-5502 help line. 'We are doing our best. We have brought in extra resources to deal with that backlog, and we are going to get those resources out the door as quickly and effectively as possible,' he told reporters Tuesday. The SPSA is directly supporting approximately 860 evacuees – while the Canadian Red Cross is assisting 9,160. According to Pritchard, financial compensation for evacuees will be retroactive to their evacuation date. There are 23 active wildfires in Saskatchewan. Six are considered not contained. There have been 257 wildfires so far this fire season – up from the five-year average of 146. Colder temperatures and lower winds have assisted firefighting efforts across the province. Effective Tuesday, areas north of the Churchill River that received significant rainfall will be removed from the provincial fire ban.
