Manitoba Wildfires Update: Flin Flon and Surrounding Areas

On June 25, 2025, nearly 4,800 evacuees were given the green light to return to their homes after nearly a month of living in temporary housing. While Flin Flon itself was spared from the wildfire, the nearby Denare Beach and Creighton have been utterly devastated.

Many have lost their homes, and for those who haven’t, a sense of grief is ever-present. One member of our Mennonite Brethren community in Flin Flon has expressed that “those of us who had homes to come home to are suffering from survivor’s guilt.”

The small community has come together adding “an extra hour for grocery shopping or running errands: taking time for hugs, comparing evacuation stories, and brainstorming ideas on how to help those who lost everything.”

So far Flin Flon/Creighton/Denare Beach have not had to evacuate again. Please pray for our community, churches, and ministries affected by the wildfires.
