The Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM) has just opened applications for the 2022 FireSmart Community Funding.
The funding is available to wildfire-prone communities, and supports local governments and First Nations to undertake community-based planning and activities that reduce risk from wildfire.
UBCM has also included additional resources like GIS materials, a summary of past funded projects, and Wildfire Threat Assessment guides.
Applicants can also refer to past program guides from 2019 and 2020.
All FireSmart Funding and Supports resources can be found here
