Manitoba has declared a province-wide state of emergency for the second time this year due to ongoing wildfires that have forced thousands of residents to evacuate. The Town of Snow Lake issued a mandatory evacuation order requiring all non-essential personnel to leave by noon on July 10. Similarly, the remote Garden Hill Anisininew Nation community, home to approximately 4,500 people, was placed under a full-scale evacuation after a wildfire breached the area, with the blaze near Garden Hill estimated at around 52 hectares. Additional First Nations communities, including St. Theresa Point and Wasagamack, have declared states of local emergency and are preparing to evacuate vulnerable residents. Evacuees have been arriving in Winnipeg, where authorities are preparing to house thousands displaced by the fires. The wildfires have also caused widespread smoke, prompting air quality alerts across much of Central Canada and Manitoba. The smoke has drifted southward, leading to air quality warnings in the Great Lakes region, including Chicago and northwest Indiana, where ozone levels have reached unhealthy thresholds. Michigan and other Lake Michigan lakeshore counties are also under air quality advisories due to the combined effects of wildfire smoke and ozone pollution. The smoke has contributed to hazy skies and poor air quality conditions extending into parts of the United States.
