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.
 

Register with the Red Cross if you are impacted by wildfires in Saskatchewan

The Canadian Red Cross, along with various partners, is providing critical assistance through lodging, food, emergency supplies, and other services to people who had to evacuate due to the wildfires. This support is offered to evacuated community members of Lac La Ronge Indian Band and Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation at the request of community leadership and through a standing agreement with Indigenous Services Canada.

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.

Government of Saskatchewan Support

People who are evacuated can visit the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency’s website which identifies the supports that are available in each community.

People who are evacuated can also call the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency’s SK Wildfire Inquiry Line to help determine which supports are available through their community: 1-855-559-5502.

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.


How you can help support people impacted by the 2025 Saskatchewan Wildfires

Tools to help with recovering from an emergency

After wildfires

  • Review the step-by-step Canadian Red Cross Guide to Wildfire Recovery for information on what to do when you return home after wildfires.
  • Home Inventory Checklist: a list of your home inventory which is helpful both for insurance and other assistance programs. In the case of an insurance claim, an insurance provider would use a similar form to assess the cost to repair or replace lost or damaged items. These items are referred to as home contents.
  • Substantial Repair and Reconstruction Contract Checklist: Hiring a contractor for damage or rebuild? Use this checklist with tips as a guide when reviewing the contract prior to signing with a contractor.
