More than 14,300 people have registered with the Canadian Red Cross as evacuees from the wildfires throughout Manitoba as of June 2.

That is the latest information from the province in its daily fire bulletin, which said those evacuees are from 5,400 households in the province.

“This includes people from approximately 2,400 households on behalf of Indigenous Services Canada and 3,000 households on behalf of the Province of Manitoba,” the bulletin said.

The province continued its call for evacuees to register so they can get financial support, as well as additional support.

It was also confirmed in the bulletin Tuesday that Mathias Colomb Cree Nation has been completely evacuated.

“Government of Canada and the Canadian Armed Forces continue evacuation efforts for Pimicikamak First Nation and Cross Lake, with multiple agencies participating in the response along with community members and the local fire department.”

There are currently 27 active wildfires in Manitoba, and there have been 111 wildfires in 2025.

Some good news was also shared in the bulletin, as more areas in Whiteshell Provincial Park have reopened after wildfires threatened the area last month.

People can now return to most of Caddy Lake and West Hawk Lake. Blocks one, two and five, as well as the public boat launch in Caddy Lake, remain closed.

Campgrounds in Brereton, Caddy, West Hawk and White lakes are set to reopen on Friday at 4 p.m.
