Statement from the Chief Executive Officer regarding the ongoing wildfires

May 29, 2025

On behalf of the Northern Authority, I want to extend our deepest concern and support to the people of Cross Lake and other Northern Manitoba communities affected by the ongoing wildfires.

We understand the fear, uncertainty, and hardship that these evacuations have brought to families and communities across the region. Our thoughts are with all those who have been displaced and are now facing the challenges of leaving their homes and loved ones behind.

The Northern Authority is working in close coordination with local leadership, provincial partners, and emergency response teams to monitor the situation and support our member agencies. Our top priority is the safety and well-being of children, youth, and families during this critical time.

We also want to acknowledge and thank the many frontline workers, community leaders, Elders, and volunteers who continue to show incredible strength and compassion in the face of crisis. Your commitment is an inspiration to us all.

We stand in solidarity with the people of Cross Lake and all of Northern Manitoba, and we remain committed to supporting their needs throughout this emergency and beyond.

Ron Monias
Chief Executive Officer
Northern Authority
