Wildfire Community Preparedness Day will take place on Saturday, May 4 this year. This is a national campaign that encourages citizens to take actions that increase their home, neighbourhood and community’s resilience to wildfire.

Residents all over the country are encouraged to come together at any time from May to October to host events and work on projects that raise awareness of wildfire risk and increase their resilience to it.

Do you have an event planned or have interest in organizing one?

Groups can apply for a $500 award to fund their Preparedness Day events.

FireSmart Canada, in collaboration with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the Institute for Catastrophic Loss Reduction (ICLR), and The Co-operators supports this annual event by offering the $500 award.

The deadline to apply for the award is January 31.
