SOUTH SLAVE: Klewi Complex (2026WB004, 2026WB009, SS004-26 | Wood Buffalo National Park fires): As of today, Parks Canada and Northwest Territories have made the decision to dissolve unified command for the Klewi Complex. This change was made by both organizations in light of significant containment progress and low risk of further fire spread outside the park boundary, beyond the current perimeter. Moving forward, Parks Canada will continue to manage this incident with support from NWT Fire and other assisting agencies. Incident management priorities remain the same – contain spread of fire towards communities and values at risk, as well as minimizing impacts on endangered whooping cranes in the area. This fire is estimated to be 52,319 hectares and is classified as out of control.

Indian businesses are always scamming, ESPECIALLY gas stations. Whether it's card skimming, watering down the gas, or now, putting a screw on the pump’s nosel cradle to save a few dollars, it's always some kind of scam, and as usual, THEY ALL ARE IN ON IT!

The Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation is calling on the federal government to conduct an independent review of Kevin O’Leary’s proposed Wonder Valley AI data centre campus, a $70-billion project planned 40 kilometres south of Grande Prairie in northwestern Alberta. Chief Sheldon Sunshine has raised concerns about inadequate consultation with his Nation throughout the approval process, arguing the province has repeatedly sidelined Indigenous rights in favour of fast-tracking the project.

Congratulation Chief Marlowe!
