People who arenSA国际影视传媒檛 in a hurry to return to Yellowknife or are being asked to stay away for health reasons currently have until Sept. 8 to enjoy free accommodations, assuming they can find them.

An update was given during a 4 p.m. press conference Sept. 4.

SA国际影视传媒淲e have made sure that we have things arranged for Sept. 8,SA国际影视传媒� said Emergency Management Organization information officer Jay Boast. SA国际影视传媒淲e will know in the coming days what to expect what will happen with that. SA国际影视传媒�

Boast said that anyone planning to fly back should pre-register for a flight at the soonest opportunity. Over 2,000 people have registered for a flight back. There is only one re-entry flight being planned for Whitehorse and Winnipeg. He said the numbers of people registered will help the territory determine how many resources are needed for people who remain in evacuation.

SA国际影视传媒淚f you are an evacuee in one of these locations and have not pre-registered, please do so as soon as possible,SA国际影视传媒� said Boast.

A number of evacuees in Calgary have been required to re-locate from their lodgings, according to a Sept. 4 update on the GNWTSA国际影视传媒檚 webpage. It says officials with the City of Calgary are doing their best to accommodate people put out of hotel rooms, but when individual lodgings are not available evacuees are being placed in group homes.

Transportation to the new lodgings is being covered by the city and teams were at the affected hotels from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. today to inform guests they were being moved.

SA国际影视传媒淓vacuees that have additional needs will be prioritized for hotel assignment,SA国际影视传媒� said Boast. SA国际影视传媒淲hat we have to appreciate is as guests here in Alberta, the hotels people are staying in are private businesses that have their own needs and commitments. As soon as the situation became apparent we moved very quickly to have staff present.SA国际影视传媒�

Boast said that seven hotels were in scheduling conflict. He said the GNWT did not have a head count of how many people were affected.

Robert Tordiff, Assistant Deputy Minister, Executive and Indigenous Affairs said the territory had mechanisms in place to track unhoused people who had been evacuated to Calgary.

SA国际影视传媒淐algary Emergency management agency works closely with shelter providers,SA国际影视传媒� he said. SA国际影视传媒淭hey have been tracking interaction with folks who are new to their services or the Northwest Territories. Through those processes, they are able to connect them to us.

SA国际影视传媒淚t should also be noted that not everyone who is part of the population from the NWT is mixing in with the homeless population in Calgary,SA国际影视传媒� he said. SA国际影视传媒淢any are still in their hotel rooms and lodgings.

SA国际影视传媒淚tSA国际影视传媒檚 a complex system of various organizations that have to work together in order that the situation awareness is available to all members.SA国际影视传媒�

He added that people who donSA国际影视传媒檛 want to return to Yellowknife have the right to do so if they choose.

Essential workers returning home between Sept. 4 and 5 are allowed to bring their families back with them. Regular citizens are asked not to begin heading back to Yellowknife until 12 p.m. Sept. 6 SA国际影视传媒� no supports will be provided for people who choose to drive to Northern Alberta and wait there. Anyone who stays at a hotel overnight will be on the hook for their own lodgings.

Essential Workers who have returned home are advised that curbside garbage pick up is currently not available and are asked to take their garbage to either the Recycling depot at the corner of School Draw and Franklin Ave, In front of City Hall or the Multiplex Parking Lot.

Boast said security has been established for the entrance to Enterprise to keep people returning home out of the community.

Terence Courtoreille, Deputy Secretary, Financial Management Board said 5,600 people have applied to the Evacuation Travel Subsidy Program.

SA国际影视传媒淥ur team here in finance are working hard to get that money out as soon as possible,SA国际影视传媒� he said.

Tordiff said the GNWT was working with provinces hosting evacuees to make mental health services accessible to people still out of the territory.

Northwest Territories Health and Social Services Authority CEO Kimberly Riles said mental health services for people returning to Yellowknife were going to be rolled out on the GNWTSA国际影视传媒檚 website in the next day.

SA国际影视传媒淭his has been a very trying and stressful event and the mental health supports are going to be critical for folks as they return, during a press conference Sept. 4,SA国际影视传媒� she said.
