The #wildfires in #Quebec have caused around 200 people who are medically vulnerable in the #Cree community of #Wemindji to be flown out as communities in the north of the province continue to fight through the unprecedented burning season and hope and pray for #rain.
The #fire in the Wemindji/Radisson sector is one of nine burning in Quebec and is one of the two that are out of control, according to Quebec' forest fire prevention agency ( #SOPFEU ).

Tweten is of #Cree ancestry and now lives on #PEI working on the PEI #ForestedLandscape Priority Place project as a #Mikmaw engagement co-ordinator.
The project #protects #SpeciesAtRisk & their #habitats & while it's hard to know how many #BlackAsh #trees are left on the Island, Tweten said 450 is a good guess.
