'This is a very serious ongoing situation, and Alberta's government will continue to monitor and provide Albertans with the most up-to-date information.'
Earlier Friday, NDP Leader Rachel Notley held a news conference to talk about her plan to hire thousands of teachers and support workers in the public education system if her party wins.
She took a minute out of that announcement, however, to send her thoughts to those affected by the wildfires across Alberta. “My deepest sympathies and thoughts to families who have lost their homes or who have been forced from them as a result of wildfires in areas across our province,” Notley told reporters. “Our hearts go out to you in this very, very difficult time.”She also thanked firefighters who are working to keep people safe and asked Albertans to follow the provincewide fire ban that’s in place.“We will have officials leading this effort,” she said.
Smith said she’s keeping a close eye on the situation. Her next media availability is currently set for Saturday.
