Evacuation for Citizens with Health Conditions
On July 07, Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation Chief and Council, along with the EMO Team, called a state of emergency and mandatory evacuation for all Citizens with significant illnesses and/or with Priority 1, 2, and 3 health concerns.
Family and Community Wellness Centre CEO Felix Walker called an emergency meeting with department managers to assess how to proceed.
The Health Department identified the priority category for Citizens. The Media Communication team procured identification cards with required information for Citizens who did not have appropriate ID. First Nations Safety Officers ensured a secure environment at the Gilbert McDonald Arena while it served as the basis of operations.
The FCWC provided transportation for priority evacuees. These drivers were Mervin Linklater, Larson Tait, Peter Flett, John Wood, Preston Linklater and Darren Spence.
Thanks to the hard work and dedication of all FCWC departments, all NCN priority evacuees remained safe and appropriately cared for during excessive wildfire smoke and the threat of fire in our community.
