Notley said she didn’t have an update as to when Fort McMurray residents may be able to return home. Kiefer said once first responders are done their work, the company will be making the most of 4,000 beds it already has available in the Fort McMurray area. That way, we can distribute the debit cards as quickly and efficiently as possible,” Premier Rachel Notley said at a news conference Wednesday. Under the government’s financial aid program, adult evacuees will receive $1,250 each and children under the age of 18 will get $500. So, I am asking all evacuees, if you don’t need emergency funding immediately, please let those in desperate need be first in line.
