flag Evacuees and firefighters urge Canada to renew firefighting funds after record wildfires.

flag A delegation of wildfire evacuees, firefighters, and Indigenous guardians is urging the Canadian federal government to restore expired firefighting funding, warning that the end of a $300 million 2022 pledge for equipment and a $39 million training program has left communities vulnerable. flag This year’s wildfire season, one of the worst on record, burned nearly 9 million hectares—larger than New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island combined—more than double the 10-year average. flag With no new applications being accepted, the group is meeting with MPs to advocate for renewed investments in emergency preparedness and clean energy to address climate-driven fire risks.
