VANCOUVER nike air max 2017 flyknit womens uk , Sept. 15 (Xinhua) -- The government of Canada's British Columbia (BC) province announced on Friday to lift a provincial state of emergency over the record wildfires declared more than two months ago.
"While the extraordinary powers of the provincial state of emergency are no longer required, the wildfire season is not over," the BC government said in a news release.
"It is vital that the public remain prepared and follow the continued direction of local authorities," it said.
However, the provincial government also said there are still 153 fires burning in the province nike air max 2017 flyknit uk , and 11 evacuation orders are in place affecting more than 3,000 people.
The state of emergency was declared on July 7 after dozens of out-of-control wildfires broke out in the province's interior areas, forcing thousands of people evacuating from their homes.
At the peak of the record wildfires, Canadian Armed Forces and equipment were deployed to support evacuation efforts and relieve.
Meanwhile, the Canadian federal government created a new ad hoc cabinet committee to co-ordinate its response to the fires nike air max 2017 blue womens uk sale , including recovery and rebuilding efforts.
More than 11,700 square kilometres of land has been charred since April 1, which the government said is the largest area burned in the province's history.
Over 510 million Canadian dollars (413 million U.S. dollar) have been used to fight against the flames so far this year as fires continue to burn out of control in southeastern British Colombia.
The federal and provincial governments announced a 20-million Canadian dollar (16.2 million U.S. dollars) fund would be made available to farmers to help replace lost breeding animals and restore damaged lands, while additional money would be provided to small businesses that lost revenue due to a drop in tourism, evacuations and road closures.

Hong Kong's Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying reaffirmed Sunday that there is ""zero chance"" that the central government's decision on the city's election will be retracted. Leung also said he is confident that the ongoing protests will not last long.
""If we have to put aside the [framework] set by the Basic Law and the National People's Congress (NPC) Standing Committee's decision nike air max 2017 blue uk , I believe we all know that the chance is almost zero,"" Leung said in an interview with TVB, a Hong Kong-based television network, on Sunday.
The protests that have paralyzed parts of the city for 15 days over demands for ""real democracy"" have become a mass movement which has spun out of control due to a lack of major leaders and direction, said Leung.
The protest leaders attempted a rebound amid diminishing protester numbers on Thursday nike air max 2017 black womens uk sale , when Alex Chow Yong-kang, leader of the Hong Kong Federation of Students (HKFS), urged more people to join the occupation and announced that his organization will escalate their actions.
The announcements came after the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) government decided to cancel talks with student representatives, condemning them for breaking down communication channels by calling for a new round of Occupy actions.
Other lawmakers echoed Leung's assertion that the protests will not continue for long, saying that protesters have to direct the discussion back to the legal framework.
""A common agenda and show of sincerity are essential for the talks to resume. What the student representatives are demanding goes beyond the SAR government's control. The NPC Standing Committee's decision cannot be overridden nike air max 2017 black womens uk ,"" Federation of Trade Unions legislator Wong Kwok-kin told the Global Times.
Leung also made clear in his Sunday interview that it is impossible for civic nomination to be included as part of the chief executive candidate nominating procedure used in the 2017 election.
""It is impossible for the Occupy actions to expand again because the only remaining protesters are some protest 'regulars,' like students and radical activists. Ordinary citizens will not join [the protests],"" said Wong.
The Occupy campaign was first initiated by the group ""Occupy Central with Love and Peace,"" founded by two university professors and a Baptist minister, before two student-led groups - HKFS and Scholarism - and another radical group called Civic Passion later took up the leadership.
The protests have seen dwindling numbers nike air max 2017 black uk , although some protesters remain at sites in Admiralty and Mong Kok.
The Hong Kong government on Sunday urged protesters to leave the roads outside the government headquarters, and said that 60 events organized at the site had been delayed, relocated or canceled due to the Occupy protests, Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK) reported.
Wong believes protester numbers reached their maximum on the first day of protests, September 28 cheap nike air max 2017 uk sale , and that the number of people the organizers can mobilize will gradually diminish as time goes by.
Agnes Chow Ting, a prominent student leader from Scholarism, announced Saturday that she has quit her role as spokesperson for the group due to the overwhelm.
