WCK relief team en route to Winnipeg amid devastating wildfires in Canada

May 31, 2025

World Central Kitchen’s Relief Team is mobilizing in Canada, where 1.7 million acres of land in Saskatchewan and Manitoba provinces have been scorched by wildfires. Thousands of families have had to evacuate their homes, and first responders are working to contain the blazes. In Saskatchewan, about 17,000 people have been placed on evacuation orders, with this number expected to increase.

Our teams are mobilizing across the region to assess needs and partner with restaurants. This remains a quickly evolving situation. You can sign up to our newsletter to receive more information and follow us on Instagram, Twitter, Bluesky, and Facebook for real-time updates.
