MIKE DEAL / FREE PRESS Colleen Champagne (left) and Colette Ans with her two dogs, Lola and Rufus, sit outside the Royal Canadian Legion in Lac du Bonnet while waiting for news on if Colette’s home was destroyed by the wildfire. Colette is one of the evacuees whose home is off of Windigo Road where some properties were threatened by the wildfires. Lac du Bonnet wildfire has displaced as many as 1,000 people, and the community has really pulled together to help each other out. Reporter: Nicol Buffie 250514 - Wednesday, May 14, 2025.
