Join UBCM staff for a webinar on July 30 to learn about the 2025 FireSmart Community Funding and Supports program information.
The program provides funding to local governments and First Nations in BC to undertake community-based FireSmart planning and activities that reduce the community’s risk from wildfire. Several changes to the program will be implemented for 2025 based on feedback from UBCM members and successful applicants, including:
- Increased funding amounts for lower risk class applicants,
- Additional funding for eligible fuel management activities for all applicants, and
- A FireSmart BC Education Program for local school districts.
The First Nations’ Emergency Services Society, Forest Enhancement Society of BC, and UBCM work with the Ministry of Forests to deliver the FireSmart Community Funding & Supports program. Funding is provided by the Province of BC. For more information, contact cri@ubcm.ca or (604) 270-8226 ext. 220.
