WATCH:
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made a stop in PG in response to the Northwest wildfires.
Canada’s leader met with firefighters & Indigenous leaders, stressing communication in a time of crisis is important for evacuees.
“There’s always more that we should be looking at when it comes to better integration, better allocation of resources, and better coordination. People don’t really care whether it’s Federal help or Municipal help, they just want to see help at the right time and in the right way.”
– Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
He believes BC firefighters are more than capable of containing the blazes, but the Federal government is always ready and willing to help.
Trudeau is the first sitting Prime Minister to visit BC’s Northern capital since Kim Campbell in 1993.
