“We’re here to support the people who had to leave their homes so suddenly,” said Debra Despins, general manager of the Prince Albert Exhibition.
“We want to make sure they have a safe and comfortable place to stay while things settle down.”
Evacuees were asked to contact the campground directly at 306-960-1743 to check availability and register. Individuals will be asked to provide their name, phone number, email address and the location from which they were evacuated, the organization noted.
Campers were reminded to follow the Prince Albert Exhibition campground rules, which include quiet time after 11:00 p.m., no open fires and keeping pets on a leash
Additionally, Northern Lights Casino, located at 44 Marquis Road West, is offering complimentary RV parking for evacuees.
Washrooms inside the casino are accessible to campers, and 24-hour security is on site.
