Premier John Horgan says making sure the province is better prepared for the wildfire season will be “a key focus” of the next provincial budget.
Horgan told reporters today that his government has learned a great deal from what’s happened this year, which saw the village of Lytton devastated, dozens more properties burned and thousands of people forced out of their homes.
Horgan says his government needs to put the lessons learned into practice.
He says the budget for 2022-23 will have at its centre a commitment to make sure the province is as prepared as it can be for coming fire seasons.
