The provincial government will provide $500 for all adult wildfire evacuees to help cover their expenses.

The announcement was made by Premier Scott Moe Wednesday morning in Saskatoon.

The money will flow through local tribal councils or municipalities to those forced to leave their homes by evacuation order. This is in addition to the increased financial assistance for evacuees announced on Saturday provided to evacuees who have registered with the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency.

A significant percentage of wildfire evacuees will be able to return home tomorrow morning when the evacuation order for La Ronge, Air Ronge and the Lac la Ronge Indian Band is lifted.

The Premier admitted there have been bottle necks in the system, but the SPSA has worked to address evacuee concerns in a timely manner.
