CALGARY, Aug 18 — Crystal Sangris barely slept for three days as wildfires threatened her hometown in northern Canada, and when she was ordered to evacuate, her anxiety turned to anguish.
Calgary’s airport in the neighbouring province of Alberta has become a reception centre for the evacuees, in a massive operation without precedent in the region. Volunteers and local officials offer food and water before transferring them to nearby hotels serving as shelters for the displaced. “My daughter is barely two years old. Everything is new to her, she doesn’t understand what’s going on. And my son, he’s five, he’s saying I want to go home,” she said.
