Those who know Lorraine (nee Gallagher) Peterson, who grew up in the Endiang community, and her husband Kris are affected by the NWT's wildfires. Lorraine, Kris and their daughter Karla have been evacuated from Hay River, NWT, to High Level, AB, for about five weeks. Their sons Tyler and Travis stayed back to help fight the fire. We hope they can safely return to their community soon and their property escapes harm.
