Manitoba has declared another provincewide state of emergency as wildfires continue to threaten communities.

Garden Hill Anisininew Nation is being evacuated Thursday after a wildfire entered the First Nation, leadership said Thursday morning. Snow Lake, about 590 kilometres northwest of Winnipeg, issued a mandatory evacuation order on Wednesday, with people ordered out by noon Thursday.

More than 4,000 people are expected to leave Garden Hill alone, the premier said. Snow Lake has a population of more than 1,000 people.

The Canadian Armed Forces has been assisting with the evacuation from that community. Hercules and commercial flights are slated to help bring residents out on Thursday, Kinew said.
