Welcome
Dear friends,
Dear friends,
The BC FireSmart Committee is pleased to invite you to the 2022 FireSmart BC Conference to be held in-person, May 11-12 in beautiful Kamloops BC. The theme “building collaboration and community” expresses the areas of interest and issues we will be covering during the two-day event. You will listen to inspiring and renowned speakers providing up-to-date information on how to create wildfire resilient homes, communities and landscapes. With four keynote addresses, 14 workshops and two expert panels, there is something of interest for all attendees. Networking breaks and events will provide time for best-practice sharing and putting faces to names in the FireSmart BC world. We’re excited to create an environment where we can all learn and share our visions for a FireSmart BC.
The 2022 FireSmart BC Conference will be hosted in Kamloops BC, the city for every season and an area heavily impacted by the wildfire season in 2021. Take a few days on either side of the conference to enjoy everything this vibrant city has to offer and take a driving tour of the wildfire impacts in the area. We look forward to seeing you in May and continuing to take steps towards a wildfire-resilient BC.
