The Provincial Government is advising residents who have been evacuated from their homes due to the wildfires that the reception centre at Carbonear Academy will be transitioning to a new location, the Splash Centre in Harbour Grace tomorrow.

The new reception centre will continue to be staffed by Canadian Red Cross, the Salvation Army, government officials and numerous volunteers.

The centre will continue to provide food, refreshments, mental health supports, help with emergency accommodations and other supports to impacted residents who need them.
