These areas are still experiencing an active fire, which is being fought by ground crews.
The remaining evacuation order affects approximately 58 properties.
As of Monday morning, the fire was 75 per cent contained. Crews worked through the night putting out hot spots and dealing with flare ups during windy conditions.
The fire was an estimated at 50.3 hectares.
People are being asked to stay away from evacuated areas so emergency response crews can do their work.
RCMP are maintaining road blocks and conducting roaming patrols.
