Wildfire season returns to Canada's oil sands, keeping output on edge

Wildfire activity has returned to northern Alberta's oil sands, with seven active blazes near Fort McMurray and Lac La Biche posing risks to communities and facilities. So far in 2026 there have been no significant disruptions, but past fires have forced substantial output losses and created production uncertainty. Heavy rain is forecast to aid firefighting, and while an evacuation alert for Conklin was lifted, officials say the risk remains extreme in the region.

Flood-disrupted transport prompts production tweaks at Cameco's Saskatchewan sites

A regional flood has closed the Smoothstone River Bridge, disrupting Cameco's main supply route to the McArthur River and Key Lake operations. Although the sites are not flooded, Key Lake mill production is temporarily halted and McArthur River mine activity reduced as delivery routes are restricted. Cigar Lake continues to operate. The timeline for resuming normal deliveries is unknown, potentially impacting Cameco's 2026 production outlook for McArthur River/Key Lake, while the company works with the Saskatchewan Ministry of Highways to minimize disruption and keeps the overall annual production plan unchanged for now.

Clorox Continues to Face Production Disruptions from Cyberattack

Clorox warns of a material financial impact from a cyberattack last month, which is still causing widescale disruption to its operations. The company does not have an estimate for when it will resume full production and expects the breach to impact its fiscal first quarter results. Clorox believes the threat is contained and plans to bring systems back up next week, gradually ramping up to full production. The attack has forced the company to go manual on many procedures, resulting in scaled-back order processing and fewer products on store shelves.
