'Do we have a house?' Caregivers working to make sure kids are occupied, calm during wildfire evacuations

As wildfires continue to displace families from northern towns and First Nations communities, evacuees are finding temporary refuge and support in Saskatchewan cities — which includes activities to keep their kids occupied, and not worrying about the fires threatening their homes.

Sarah Swan, who evacuated from Pelican Narrows, about 500 kilometres northeast of Saskatoon, is in a Saskatoon hotel with her husband and five kids.

"It is stressful because we're not used to being in one little room — like, they're used to being in a house, and you could just go outside the house and play, but here you can't go outside because there's streets and traffic," Swan said.
