Over 2,700 N.W.T. evacuees reached Calgary as of Wednesday, the city said.
But several evacuees told Global News financial support won’t be offered to evacuees who found accommodations on their own, nor will it reimburse those who used their own vehicles to evacuate.
Ian Bushell, director of emergency management and community safety for the City of Calgary, said city staff are doing their best to connect vulnerable N.W.T. evacuees with local agencies and support services.
