Ontario Premier Doug Ford is expected to speak Monday morning alongside Jill Dunlop, Minister of Emergency Preparedness and Response, and Mike Harris, Minister of Natural Resources.
Over the weekend, Ford travelled to Thunder Bay — where many people fleeing from the northern Ontario wildfires have gone — and met with evacuees and first responders.
The premier said he was informed there are 191 active wildfires in the province, seven more than the previous day.
Of those fires, 73 are considered out of control, and 91 are being observed.
U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday said he told Prime Minister Mark Carney that Canada needed to do more to stop wildfires after smoke drifted into the United States.
Trump said the smoke was "poisoning" their air.
