Canadians are making their communities safer as they participate in the first National Wildfire Preparedness Day in Canada. Twenty-four groups across the country received funding to support local mitigation projects aimed at reducing the risk of wildfire damage in their communities. Partners in Protection hope that today’s inaugural Canadian National Wildfire Community Preparedness Day will be the start of a growing annual event that builds awareness and education, and ultimately reduces the threat of wildfires in Canada.
