Wildfires prompt closures, delays at PSE campuses across Prairies

Wildfires have led to temporary closures and service disruptions at several postsecondary institutions in Western Canada. In Alberta, Northern Lakes College has closed four campuses—Chateh, Loon River, Peerless Lake, and Trout Lake—due to nearby wildfires and evacuation orders. In Saskatchewan, the Gabriel Dumont Institute has closed its Northern Saskatchewan Indigenous Teacher Education Program campus and La Ronge-based training office until further notice. Northlands College has postponed its graduation ceremony due to the evacuation order affecting La Ronge and other northern SK communities. “Our priority is the safety and well-being of our students, staff, and community,” reads a notice from Northlands.
