As wildfires rage in Western Canada, a group of Indigenous firefighters is partnering with the province to head to Alberta and lend a hand.
“It’s significant to me because, not only in the province but across the country, we’re all neighbours, and we all need to come together in crisis to help each other,” said Travis Sappier, co-ordinator with the Mawiw Council.
