PBCN – Denare Beach Update

Issued Monday, June 23, 2025

PBCN Emergency Registration Required: All Denare Beach Evacuees — Please Register Now

Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation has launched a new emergency registration system to help track, support, and communicate with members displaced by wildfire and other emergencies.

?? If you are currently evacuated — especially if you are staying with friends, family, or in temporary lodging — you must register immediately.

This includes all members from Denare Beach, including those out of province in Manitoba, Alberta, or beyond.

Registration ensures you receive:

• Hotel or housing assignments (if needed)
• Fuel, food, and medical supports
• Regular updates by phone, email, and (soon) text
• Future recovery planning and repatriation information

Three easy ways to register:

1. Online – Go to www.pbcn.ca and click the red link: “Fire Evacuation 2025”
2. In Person – Visit a PBCN Emergency Centre in Saskatoon, Prince Albert, or Regina
3. With Assistance – Staff at these centres can help you complete the registration form

The system also includes a new AI assistant to help answer calls and provide basic information.

Need help? Contact:

• Sarah Swan: (306) 632-7286
• Elsie Ballantyne: (306) 220-7818

Registering helps us help you. Please don’t delay.
