The mayor of Fort Smith, N.W.T., announced that a town meeting will be held on September 11 to discuss a possible return plan for residents, depending on the fire activity over the weekend. The threat to Fort Smith has decreased, but areas around it remain threatened. Once the evacuation order is lifted, essential workers will need to return before the general population can. The mayor has been in discussions with government officials about the return process, and the earliest return flights could be organized for Tuesday. The community cannot support re-entry until essential services are re-established.
