April snow brings poor driving conditions to southeast Saskatchewan
Some areas along Trans Canada Highway were covered by blowing snow and slush on Tuesday as the Saskatchewan RCMP issued a warning of poor road conditions and visibility in southeast parts of the province.
'Officers in the area are responding to multiple collision sites and report road conditions are continually deteriorating,' said the RCMP alert, issued just before noon Tuesday.
The statement added that no injuries were reported and emergency services are responding to collisions.
Motorists should slow down and follow police instructions, said the release, which added that areas around Carlyle, Wolseley and Broadview were particularly impacted. Some parts of Highway 1 were reduced to one lane and drivers should expect delays, according to RCMP.
Some highways east of Regina were reported as partly or fully covered while Highway 1 from Wolseley to the Manitoba border was listed as 'travel not recommended' by the provincial Highway Hotline.
Moosomin, located on Highway 1, was under a snowfall warning Tuesday at 11 a.m. from Environment Canada. The forecast said 'snow at times heavy,' with 10-20 centimetres expected.

'Human caused' Manitoba wildfire data misused to downplay climate impact
"100 of the 111 FIRES in Manitoba right now are confirmed HUMAN CAUSED," reads the caption of a June 3, 2025 X post. "The MEDIA will make you believe otherwise, like it's climate or something." The post includes what appears to be a collection of government data showing that the majority of wildfires in Manitoba have human origins. Similar posts on Facebook, Instagram and X shared the numbers while also claiming the media and government were incorrectly citing climate change as the cause of the size of the blazes. Canadian wildfires have already forced over 31,000 people to evacuate in 2025, with smoke from the flames detected as far away as Europe. Across the country, the area burned by wildfires is nowhere near the level of Canada's record-breaking 2023 season, but is still above the decade average for this point in the year, according to data from the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre (archived here and here). A reference to "gas" and comments on many of the posts claiming "arson" echo allegations of intentionally started fires, which emerge during many wildfire events and are often used to promote false claims that environmentalists are burning forests to prove the existence of climate change. As of June 5, government data reports 101 of 113 fires in Manitoba are human caused (archived here), but a spokesperson for the province said this label denotes any fire started by something other than lightning. "It does not mean 'arson,' it could be a hot exhaust pipe on an ATV in long grass, or a campfire or burn pile not properly extinguished," the spokesperson said. Glenn Miller, the director of Manitoba Wildfire Service, also explained the distinction to reporters in a press conference on May 8, 2025 (archived here). "When we use the words 'human caused' it's very broad and it's not necessarily arson, but arson can be at play for sure," he said. The Manitoba division of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) told AFP it had made arson-related arrests after the start of two separate wildfires on May 7 (archived here). Both cases involved controlled burns -- a practice of burning away dry organic matter to eliminate potential fuel for future wildfires (archived here) -- which could not be contained due to weather, the RCMP said. Contrary to claims on social media, there were news reports on the arrests and their connection to the wildfires. Local media also reported on a house fire at Manitoba's Whiteshell Provincial Park on May 20, detected after the evacuation of the area due to wildfire risk. An investigation into possible arson is ongoing. The RCMP did not reference any other cases of intentionally started fires in the province and AFP could not find any other reports about such cases. Laura Chasmer, an associate professor of geography and environment at the University of Lethbridge (archived here), told AFP a fire's origin is just "one part of the puzzle" when it comes to the flames' spread and the wider picture of climate change and its impacts. "If the fuel conditions are really dry because you've had really warm, dry weather, then that vegetation, that biomass, or even the organic matter on the ground, that's going to burn," she said on June 5 (archived here and here). Chasmer also explained that gusty conditions in Manitoba and other Canadian prairie provinces facilitated the spread of recent wildfires. In Canada, the past 20 years of warmer weather and recent prolonged droughts sucking up moisture, which would have previously slowed down blazes, contribute to more intense wildfire seasons, she remarked. "Fires are becoming a big problem now," she said. "It's just everywhere, every summer." Read more of AFP's reporting on misinformation in Canada here.

Saskatchewan lays charges in wildfires while Manitoba fires force 1,000 more to flee
Prairie wildfires developed on two fronts Friday as 1,000 more Manitoba residents were forced to flee their homes, while Saskatchewan's RCMP laid charges against alleged fire-starters. Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe told a news conference that two people have been charged with setting wildfires. He said one of them was charged in relation to a fire around La Ronge, which has forced 7,000 people to flee their homes. 'The RCMP have informed us that they have now charged a couple of individuals,' Moe said. RCMP did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Saskatchewan has 24 active wildfires that have forced between 10,000 and 15,000 people from their homes. 'Many if not virtually all of the fires that we're dealing with in Saskatchewan, although not intentionally, are human caused. Some of those have been intentionally human caused,' Moe said. The province, along with Manitoba, is under a state of emergency, making it easier for different levels of government to co-ordinate a response. Manitoba has received help from the military to evacuate residents, mainly in remote First Nations. Moe has faced calls from the Opposition NDP to follow suit. The premier said while his government is in daily contact with federal officials, provincial emergency crews have so far been able to get evacuees out. He said the Canadian Red Cross is also working to set up shelters for evacuees in Regina, Saskatoon and Prince Albert. In Manitoba, the town of Snow Lake, near Flin Flon, issued a mandatory evacuation order for its residents due to a large wildfire threatening the area. 'You must leave because of the danger to your health and safety,' reads a notice on the town's Facebook page. That fire, which has grown to more than 3,000 square kilometres, has already forced out all 5,000 residents of the city of Flin Flon and about a thousand more in surrounding cottages and homes. When the Snow Lake evacuees are added in, Manitoba has about 19,000 out of their homes. There are 27 total fires in the province, eight of them out of control. Earlier Friday, Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew said evacuees have found a place to stay with friends or family, in hotels or in congregate shelters. He said getting those evacuees into private accommodations is tricky because many hotel rooms are being reserved for people with 'intense' medical issues. 'We just have to do a balancing act,' Kinew said. 'At this point, the big-picture challenge around rooms has largely been addressed. 'It's now just about the daily balancing act of triaging people coming in and people who are already in shelters and matching them up with rooms.' There are shelters in Winnipeg, Thompson and Brandon. The City of Flin Flon, on social media, said that no structures have been lost in the city or in nearby Creighton, Sask. 'Winds in the area are now blowing from the south, resulting in heavy smoke and fire moving towards the south side of Flin Flon,' the city said in an update Friday. The city added that fire protection, including sprinklers, is set up and firefighters would work to protect property. Provincial fire officials said evacuations have been completed at First Nations at Pukatawagan and Cross Lake. In northern Alberta, approximately 1,300 residents of the town of Swan Hills were allowed to return to their homes Thursday, about a week after fleeing from a wildfire. But about 340 kilometres west in the County of Grande Prairie, people in the Municipal District of Opportunity were ordered out. — with files from Steve Lambert in Winnipeg This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 6, 2025.

Four communites around La Ronge given wildfire evacuation orders
Residents of Sucker River, Wadin Bay, English Bay and Nemeiben have been given a mandatory evacuation order, as a uncontained wildfire near La Ronge moved closer to the community over the weekend. Lac La Ronge Indian Band Chief Tammy Cook-Searson issued the order for Sucker Bay at 10 a.m. on Monday, due to the shifting closeness of the Pisew fire. It is burning just 16 kilometres west of La Ronge, about 260 kilometres north of Prince Albert. An evacuation notice from the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency (SPSA) for the three other subdivisions followed at around 11:30 a.m. It advised residents to travel south to La Ronge for coordinated supports. Nearby, La Ronge, Lac La Ronge, Air Ronge and Stanley Mission were also put on standby notice, due to the same fire's proximity. The resort subdivision of Ramsey Bay was advised to flee on Friday, with arrangements made to escort evacuees south. Arrangements for buses, gas for personal vehicles and accommodations through Red Cross were in the works as of Monday at 10 a.m., according to a statement from Cook-Searson shared online. Highway 165 south from Besnard Lake and Highway 969 to Timber Bay are both closed due to smoke and fire. Residents were advised Highway 915 into Stanley Mission was also expected to be compromised. Those leaving any of the four communities on Monday are to meet at the Jonas Roberts Memorial Community Centre in La Ronge for buses and other supports. The Pisew fire has reached around 83,000 hectares in size as of Monday, according to the SPSA's active wildfire map online. More than 8,000 people from 20 northern Saskatchewan communities remain on mandatory evacuation orders due to wildfires. Residents of Molanosa and Timber Bay were evacuated on Sunday, due to heavy smoke in the area caused by the Ditch wildfire, which is still spreading near Montreal Lake. The hamlet of Weyakwin was previously evacuated from the area on May 28. Some evacuees from Canoe Lake First Nation were granted permission to return home late Sunday, though warned the air quality in the area remains poor due to smoke. The Shoe fire in Narrow Hills Provincial Park, currently threatening 11 communities including Candle Lake, Smeaton and Choiceland, has grown to over 305,000 hectares in size as of Monday. Saskatchewan has declared a provincial state of emergency, and imposed a provincewide fire ban as well as an ATV ban in the northern district to reduce risk of new fires sparking. A daily update from the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency on the situation is expected Monday afternoon. lkurz@ 'These are devastating': Dispatches on the Saskatchewan wildfire situation Saskatchewan premier says more evacuations likely if current weather persists 'This is our home': P.A. grand chief says Sask. wildfire situation is dire, but northern people are ready to fight The Regina Leader-Post has created an Afternoon Headlines newsletter that can be delivered daily to your inbox so you are up to date with the most vital news of the day.
