Update for South Slave Evacuees
With the re-entry of Hay River, the KFN reserve and Fort Smith, evacuees should now be checked out of their accommodations in Alberta. Anyone wishing to stay will need to make their own alternate arrangements for accommodations going forward.
The GNWT is working with residents of Enterprise who require continued accommodations support. Enterprise residents who have not been in contact with the GNWT are encouraged to contact disasterassistance@gov.nt.ca
Any South Slave Region residents with questions about accommodations supports can also email: disasterassistance@gov.nt.ca
If you are concerned about the reduced availability of health services in your community:
Please contact 867-874-8000 to discuss your healthcare options in Hay River during this time or visit https://www.hrhssa.org for the latest updates on services.
Residents can contact GNWT Pathfinders for information and help accessing programs and services that assist evacuees and others impacted by disaster events.
Please note that information is specific to circumstances of the event.
Pathfinders are currently contacting Enterprise evacuees about their accommodations and return plans, and providing information on Department of Finance funding programs for evacuees.
