Alberta business operators forced to leave their homes and communities due to wildfires reopen after nearly three weeks of being shut down.

Then came the Alberta wildfires, which have destroyed more than one million hectares and, at one point, forced up to 35,000 Albertans to leave their homes this month., although there were still 51 active wildfires burning on Friday.

The wildfire did move within one kilometre of the town’s corporate boundaries earlier this month, but no buildings were lost. “It is a long-term rebuild. Sometimes it is only a couple of months that it takes to rebuild back, but we still have rent to pay, we still have utilities to pay,” she added.Gilmour is expecting to reopen her salon on Monday.“It was incredible, nice to see a lot of familiar faces,” said store manager Kyle Amos.

Amos, who left Fox Creek with his family for Stony Plain on May 6, came back the next day to help support emergency personnel, working with town officials to ensure firefighters and others could access food.Article content
