REGINA – The Saskatchewan government wants feedback on how well the province handled wildfires that forced about 13,000 people from their homes last summer.
Questions have been raised about how prepared the government was for the fires, which threatened lives, homes, communities and infrastructure in an area north of Prince Albert.
Premier Brad Wall has said the cost of the wildfires could exceed $100 million.

The government is offering an online and written survey and wants to hear from people about how they were affected by the fires.
The province also plans to review its wildfire operations and meet with northern leaders, emergency officials and the business community.
Government Relations Minister Jim Reiter says the deadline for submitting the survey is Dec. 15.
