The Provincial Government has safely re-opened the Muskrat Falls camp as an additional shelter for Labrador City evacuees. The Muskrat Falls shelter will be administered by the Canadian Red Cross, and supported by the Salvation Army, Search and Rescue Volunteer Association of Canada, and St. John Ambulance.

The Muskrat Falls shelter is pet-friendly and includes all meals, while alcohol or drug use are not permitted. Daily transportation will be provided to and from Happy Valley-Goose Bay and parking is available to evacuees with their own vehicles. Only evacuees assigned to the Muskrat Falls shelter by the Red Cross will be permitted to enter.

Labrador City evacuees can indicate they would like to be placed in the Muskrat Falls shelter in the following ways.

• Those already in congregate shelters (the arena, YMCA, CNA, church or other): advise the Red Cross staff at your current shelter that you would like to be relocated to Muskrat Falls.
• Those registered with the Red Cross but not currently in a congregate shelter: Visit E.J. Broomfield arena (located at 2 Broomfield Street) and request shelter assistance from Red Cross staff on-site.
• Those who have yet to register with the Red Cross: Visit E.J. Broomfield Arena to register with the Red Cross and request shelter assistance.

The Provincial Government would like to thank organizations and community partners for working diligently to make the Muskrat Falls site available to residents of Labrador City who are displaced as a result of the wildfire.

Updates on conditions, resources and assistance will be made available continuously throughout this evolving situation. For the most up-to-date information, please visit www.gov.nl.ca and follow the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador on Facebook and on X.
