The province has reopened the Muskrat Falls camp, to provide additional shelter for evacuees from the forest fires burning near Lab City.
The shelter will be administered by the Canadian Red Cross, and supported by the Salvation Army, St. John Ambulance and the Search and Rescue Volunteer Association of Canada.
The shelter will be pet-friendly, and will include all meals, but drug and alcohol use will not be allowed.
Daily transportation will be provided to and from Happy Valley-Goose Bay, with parking available to evacuees with their own vehicles.
Only those assigned to the Muskrat Falls shelter by the Red Cross will be allowed to enter.
