The Manitoba government is dedicating three new counsellors to improve access to mental-health support for first responders after a Winnipeg firefighter died by suicide this month.Premier Wab Kinew said the province is still working out the details on the assistance, but fire, paramedic and police departments will each have a counsellor tailored to their needs.

The evacuation order covering four communities in Fort McMurray lifted Saturday, thanks to a streak of rain, cooler temperatures, and work by crews to build defensive structures against an approaching wildfire.Roughly 6,000 people were ordered to evacuate on May 14, although many more left because they wanted to avoid a do-over of the chaotic 2016 evacuation. The evacuation alert also ended for the rest of Fort McMurray and surrounding communities, such as Fort McMurray First Nation and Anzac.
