Sandy Bay Cree community evacuation order lifted after Flanagan wildfire containment.

The evacuation order for Sandy Bay, a Cree community in Saskatchewan, has been lifted after a month due to the containment of the Flanagan wildfire. Residents can now return home as essential services, including power and healthcare, are operational. Buses are transporting evacuees back, with care packages provided upon arrival. The order was originally issued on August 13, as the fire posed an immediate threat to the community.
