Our thoughts are with those across the province dealing with wildfires. If you have been evacuated, create a profile for Emergency Support Services with the Evacuee Registration and Assistance (ERA) Tool. You can also register by calling the Emergency Support Services Info Line at 1-800-585-9559 or in person at your local Reception Centre.
Happy Birthday to Louis Riel! Riel was recognized as the father of Manitoba and is currently acknowledged to be a founding father of Confederation in Canada. In addition to advocating for Métis rights, Riel also fought for greater religious freedom, French language rights, First Nations rights, and greater gender equality throughout the Northwest. Riel died as a staunch advocate for the Métis and as a defender of minority rights in general.
