Kamloops BC Now
The province of British Columbia is providing funds to help communities take action and reduce the risks of wildfire. Fifty grants of $10,000, for a total of $500,000, will be made available to local governments and First Nations through the Strategic Wildfire Prevention Initiative (SWPI). “Homeowners who live in interface areas can help protect their properties from wildfires by using FireSmart principles. This new grant program will help communities and First Nations raise awareness of this important work and become recognized as FireSmart Communities,” said Steve Thomson, Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations.
