WILDFIRE RESILIENCE: PROTECTING YOUR HOME

Join us on Thursday April 17th at 7:00 PM for a public lecture by licensed architect Gregory MacNeil, presented by the South Shore Network of the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC).

Climate change is leading to larger, hotter, and more frequent wildfires in Canada, extending the wildfire season to wider areas. This trend has significant implications for both ecosystems and infrastructure. To address these challenges, Canadians must strengthen their resilience to wildfires and minimize the risk of losing their homes and properties.

This lecture will focus on wildfires in wildland-urban interface (WUI) and intermix zones, emphasizing FireSmartTM strategies for safeguarding homes in areas where natural land meets residential development. This discussion will highlight practical, science- backed strategies you can implement to improve your wildfire preparedness and protect your home.

This is a free event—no registration required.
