In his annual Christmas message Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall speaks about those involved in the province’s largest evacuation ever during the summer forest fires. He says we are privileged to live in a province where people come together which can be difficult when stress levels are high.  He salutes the evacuees, the fire fighters, the troops, the Red Cross and the local officials, the mayors and the chiefs as well as those who shared money, food and supplies and those who prayed for an ending to this situation adding all rose to the occasion.

Wall wishes everyone the gladness of Christmas which is hope, the spirit of Christmas which is peace and the heart of Christmas which is love.
