The BC Wildfire Service will be hosting two webinars to engage with local governments on how local bylaws and provincial legislation work together to prevent human-caused wildfires.
The webinars are an opportunity to join staff from the BC Wildfire Service for an interactive workshop and engagement session. Content will include current approaches used in B.C. to protect public safety through regulating open burning and other activities.
The sessions will be forward-looking collaborative discussions about future policy direction. In order to participate fully, the intent is for local government staff with an understanding of local fire bylaws attend the workshops.
One webinar is intended for regional districts and improvement districts, and one is for municipalities. Please register in advance.
- Regional Districts and Improvement Districts: February 11, 1-3 pm. Register here.
- Municipalities: March 4, 1-3 pm. Register here.
