Recent updates from provincial authorities have highlighted a sobering reality: there are currently 128 active wildfires listed in the province of British Columbia, with 15 of them burning out of control. While we may not have any immediate threat of wildfires in our region, this should serve as a wake-up call for us all to take proactive measures to ensure our community's safety and resilience.

As the wildfire situation in Fort Nelson escalates, it serves as a stark reminder of the importance of being prepared and supporting those who protect us from such disasters. It is imperative that we take swift and decisive action to protect our forests and communities.

Nestled amidst the rugged beauty of Squamish, British Columbia, the Paradise Trails project stands as a testament to the harmonious coexistence between nature, culture, and community. This ambitious endeavour aims to create an eco-village that not only provides shelter but also nurtures a way of life that respects the land’s heritage and sustains generations to come.

Did you know that certain areas within Squamish remain vulnerable to house fires and wildfires due to limited fire service coverage? It’s a sobering reality—one that demands urgent attention. We are exploring the gaps in fire protection and introducing a solution that not only safeguards our community but also fosters unity.
