Six Communities in Northwest Fire Centre Receive Fresh Injection of FireSmart Funding

Six communities in the Northwest will split close to $500,000 in FireSmart grants for 2022.

FireSmart funding is intended to help communities complete wildfire risk-reduction projects, and fuel-management activities.

In the Northwest Fire Centre, the City of Terrace, District of Kitimat, Town of Smithers, Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine, North Coast Regional District, and the Tahltan Nation will all receive funding.

Those communities are among 107 receiving funding through the Community Resiliency Investment grant program.

Separate funding of up to $150,000 is also available to eligible applicants of the Union of BC Municipalities’ FireSmart Community Funding and Supports Program.
