À propos de cet audio
A lot of couples have been split up by the wildfires burning in Manitoba, because one partner is needed in the community and the other has left due to the threat.
That's the case for Melanie Spence. She is a teacher who found herself stranded in Thompson, unable to return home to Tataskweyak Cree Nation.
Meanwhile, her husband, Robert Spence, is a former Tataskweyak councillor who has been helping with firefighting efforts in that community.
Also on the podcast today: Jaimie Fleuty, a Snow Lake evacuee, speaks with host Marcy Markusa about her journey since evacuating, how her home is doing, and the challenges facing her family and other communities, including Denare Beach and Creighton. She shares what she’s hearing from her community and how she’s adjusting to being away from home.
