Saskatchewan Wildfires Response 2025
Encroaching wildfires and the resulting wildfire smoke in Saskatchewan have resulted in the evacuation of several communities across the province.
The Canadian Red Cross is working closely with Indigenous leadership and provincial and municipal governments to determine the best way to support individuals, families, and communities impacted by the ongoing wildfires in Saskatchewan.
Support provided by the Canadian Red Cross includes registration, reception and information, emergency accommodations, meals and personal services.
Registration with the Red Cross ensures people can be contacted while away from home, and can be reached with information on Red Cross services and assistance that may become available to them during this difficult time.
When registering, you will be asked basic information about you and your household, such as your name, date of birth, email address and home address.
Register in-person
Please note: Only one person in your household needs to register. Please do not register again if you or someone you live with has already registered with the Red Cross.
FRAUD ALERT: Unfortunately, there are some people who may try to take advantage of those impacted by a disaster through fraudulent tactics. The Canadian Red Cross communicates only via email, phone, or in person and would never send a link through a text message. We will never ask for your social insurance number, bank account information or credit card number during your registration or to receive assistance. The Red Cross encourages people to stay informed from credible sources, such as the Government of Canada’s website for fraud prevention tips. If you suspect you have been a victim of fraudulent activity, please contact your local police authority.
Those wishing to help are encouraged to donate to the 2025 Saskatchewan Wildfires Appeal to help the people and communities affected by wildfires in the province.
Donations to the Canadian Red Cross will be used to assist those impacted in Saskatchewan with immediate and ongoing relief including, registration, reception and information, emergency accommodations, meals and personal services.
