Wildfire evacuees entitled to $500 support from province
Premier Scott Moe announced those displaced by wildfires in Saskatchewan will be entitled to $500 in assistance from the province.
He made the announcement Wednesday morning that all residents over the age of 18, residing in communities that were evacuated will receive the funding.
“Our focus is to ensure that individuals, businesses and communities, but most importantly, families and children have the support that they require to recover from what has been a tremendously fast-moving and challenging time,” he said to reporters at a press conference in Saskatoon Wednesday morning.
The funds will be issued as a grant directly to the impacted communities, and then dispersed by leadership.
