Government Provides Additional $500 in Financial Assistance to Northern Residents Displaced by Wildfires

Released on June 11, 2025

Due to wildfires affecting communities across Saskatchewan, Premier Scott Moe announced today that the Government of Saskatchewan will be providing emergency funds to those displaced due to ongoing emergency. All residents over the age of 18, that reside in communities that have been evacuated will receive $500 in financial assistance.

"Our government recognizes the impact of wildfires on these residents," Moe said. "These funds will help support families throughout these evacuations and as they return to their home communities."

The funds will be issued directly to communities as a grant from the provincial government. Funds will be disbursed by community leadership to affected residents over the age of 18. Those residents are eligible for $500. This is in addition to the increased financial assistance for evacuees announced on June 7th, 2025, provided to evacuees who have registered with the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency (SPSA). More information on this funding can be found here.

The Government of Saskatchewan has provided $15 million to the Canadian Red Cross to help Saskatchewan residents who have been displaced from their homes, as wildfires continue to threaten communities across the province.

Support for wildfire evacuees is provided by the SPSA, the Canadian Red Cross, or the community from which you have evacuated. 

If your community is supported by the Canadian Red Cross, you can call 1-800-863-6582 from 8 a.m to 10 p.m. daily to be connected to supports.

If your community is supported by SPSA’s Emergency and Community Support (ECS) program, you can register through the Sask Evac App and call 1-855-559-5502 for assistance. Once you have registered and called 1-855-559-5502, the SPSA will contact you with details about support depending on your family situation.
 
The latest information as well as wildfire mapping can be found at https://www.saskpublicsafety.ca/emergencies-and-response/active-incidents.

The SPSA continues to provide daily updates on the current wildfire situation to ensure that Saskatchewan residents are provided with the most up to date information.
