Wildfire evacuees seek solace in Lloydminster

There are just over 200 wildfire evacuees in Lloydminster.

Most are from Canoe Lake Cree First Nation, with a few from Pelican Narrows, says Andrew DeGruchy, Senior Manager, Public Safety with the City of Lloydminster.

Meadow Lake Tribal Council is managing the evacuation efforts.

“At this time, the organizers have not made any specific requests. However, the City will maintain ongoing communication with the organizers to monitor evolving needs,” adds DeGruchy.

The City of Lloydminster will meet with the evacuation coordinators on Wednesday, May 28.

Gerry has lived in Lloydminster since winter 2010. That detail is important as coming from the Caribbean he did not see green grass until May. Now an Alberta/Western Canada resident, you would be hard-pressed to find a stronger proponent of Lloydminster than the news guy that appreciates a healthy dose of rock music and dress code leather. His mantra is focus on one thing and do it well.
