HIFR, in partnership with BC Wildfire Service, has been working on a Wildfire Risk Reduction project for the forests in the various crown leases at the corner of Central Rd and Sollans Rd. The area includes Joe King Ball Park, New Horizons, the medical center, Doris Savoie building, the Farmers’ Market, and the Art Center.
It is an area dense in community infrastructure and is vulnerable to a wildfire. There is a lot that can be done to reduce that risk. Come to the open house at the Community Hall on November 26 to see what is being planned.
