The Government of Canada has invested over $7M into 12 projects based in British Columbia or with a national reach that focus on helping regions and sectors adapt to climate change. Simon Fraser University has received $500K to address barriers to wildfire risk reduction and landscape fire management strategies. “The far-reaching impacts of recent wildfires—massive emissions and disrupted communities—demand urgent action, said SFU Morris J Wosk Centre for Dialogue Program Director Robin Prest. “This contribution from Natural Resources Canada will foster collaboration across sectors, First Nations and impacted communities in ways that accelerate wildfire adaptation, create jobs, enhance ecosystem resilience and increase public safety.”
