We were pleased to welcome Chad, Beef Farmers of Ontarioโ€™s Member Relations Manager, to Thunder Bay Community Pasture while he was in the area for the crop tour and pasture walk.

Chad stopped in to learn more about our community pasture and see firsthand how it operates. We were proud to hear how impressed he was with the condition of both the grass and the cattle.

Thank you, Chad, for taking the time to visit and for including Thunder Bay Community Pasture in your time here in the region!

As many of the wildfires across Northwestern Ontario have slowed and some farms and families begin returning to normalcy, we recognize that the effects of these evacuations are far from over.

The emergency response placed a significant financial and operational burden on displaced animal owners, farms, private facilities, volunteers and organizations that stepped forward to transport, shelter and care for evacuated animals.

The Framework explains how applications will be reviewed, what expenses may qualify, reimbursement requirements, funding priorities and the controls established to ensure that donated funds are distributed fairly, responsibly and transparently. Eligible categories may include emergency animal transportation, feed, hay, bedding, temporary shelter, veterinary care, biosecurity supplies, essential equipment, cleaning and site recovery, and other necessary evacuation-related animal-care expenses.

Pasture Manager Mike makes moving the herd look way too easy. Weโ€™re starting to think he might actually be a cattle whisperer!

Open the gate, a little encouragement, and the herd is happily headed toward fresh green grassโ€ฆ. Onto the next cell for their rotational grazing!

281 animals safely evacuated and placed

Thanks to incredible teamwork, collaboration, and community support, to date, 281 animals have now been safely evacuated and placed through this emergency response effort.

Just over 80% of those animals were placed through support from the local community, while our initiative continues to shelter and care for 52 animals for the duration of the emergency.

Of all animals evacuated:

34% were large animals and livestock

66% were small livestock and companion animals.

These are more than numbers. They represent animals protected, families supported, and people opening their farms, facilities and hearts when their neighbours needed them most.

And we arenโ€™t done yet. With many communities still under emergency alerts and watching closely for new evacuation orders, we remain ready and committed to helping until every community is safely in the clear.

Behind every animal brought to safety is a family with one less thing to fear.

This is what strong community looks like.

Our community is coming together to support families and farmers impacted by the wildfires.

The Thunder Bay Community Pasture, Oliver Agricultural Society, Hymers Agricultural Society, and FAN-NWO are coordinating support for a family who has evacuated with their livestock and farm animals.

Today's updated needs for Farm Wildfire Evacuees:
Women's size lg and XXL clothing
Men's M/Lg/XL clothing
Children's clothing - all gender
Sports bras
Towels
Bedding
Books & entertainment
Cot for sleeping
Cooler
Pot set
Toiletries & hygiene supplies
Rain coats/boots
Underwear & socks

We are also looking for a single volunteer who can pick up in-town donations, and drive them to the drop off location in Murillo. For the family's privacy we cannot share the drop of location publicly at this time.

If you're able to help, please reach out to us directly. Every act of kindness makes a difference. Thank you! โค๏ธ
