FireSmart BC is offering Local FireSmart Representative Workshops and FireSmart Canada has launched its 2021 Community Wildfire Preparedness Day program.
The virtual workshops for FireSmart representatives run from December 2020 through to April 2021, and will be delivered in two half-day sessions. The newly-updated Local FireSmart Representative Workshop was developed to assist fire professionals and community leaders to become familiar with and implement all components of the FireSmart Canada Neighbourhood Recognition Program.
Meanwhile, FireSmart Canada is again offering grants of $500 and other resources to encourage projects that reduce wildfire risk and increase preparedness. Participating in this annual event strengthens local awareness for wildfire prevention and builds a sense of community among FireSmart proponents.
