FireSmart Community Funding & Supports
Applications are currently being accepted for this program.
The FireSmart Community Funding & Supports program provides funding to local governments and First Nations in BC to increase community resiliency by undertaking community-based FireSmart planning and activities that reduce the community’s risk from wildfire.
For all funded projects, it is expected that in-person activities, meetings or events meet physical distancing and other public health guidance in relation to COVID-19. Extensions to project end dates and final report deadlines are available for any approved project impacted by COVID-19.
