CALGARY/TORONTO (Reuters) - Authorities in Canada lifted evacuation orders on Monday for all work camps and some additional oil facilities that had been shuttered when a massive wildfire threatened the nation's energy hub, a significant step for companies eager to restart production.
Municipal authorities for the oil town said a "phased re-entry" was authorized for the remaining camps, including those for Suncor Energy Inc's Baseline and MacKay River camps north of the fire-ravaged oil town of Fort McMurray. There were no remaining camps under evacuation order in Alberta.
