Strategic and Collaborative Approaches to Mitigating Wildfire
A DIALOGUE “WHAT WE HEARD” REPORT
This report highlights key findings from our 2023 workshop on strategic and collaborative approaches to mitigating wildfire in British Columbia. The event brought together a spectrum of voices, including Indigenous leaders, officials, experts, practitioners, and advocates in a candid and open conversation on the challenges and potential solutions surrounding wildfire mitigation.
The document articulates the shifting paradigms in wildfire, a shared vision of wildfire stewardship in British Columbia, challenges slowing progress, and a series of pathways to achieve transformation. It also includes a participant-created timeline of events important for the history of fire in BC (p. 23–26).
It is intended to be a resource not only for government officials, industry leaders, community stakeholders but also for anyone who cares deeply about the future of wildfire British Columbia.
