On behalf of the Government of Saskatchewan, and through a partnership with the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency, the Canadian Red Cross is distributing financial assistance to eligible households that were evacuated due to the wildfires in Saskatchewan.

The Canadian Red Cross will distribute financial assistance directly to eligible households who are not members of First Nation communities. Eligible households who are members of a First Nation community will receive financial assistance through their community leadership.

For those who are not members of a First Nation community impacted by the wildfires in Saskatchewan, people must be registered with the Red Cross. If households have already registered, they do not need to re-register as this may result in delays in receiving financial assistance.
