Wildfire Coexistence in B.C.: Solutions Symposium

June 3 - June 5

The Wildfire Coexistence in B.C.: Solutions Symposium will bring together British Columbia’s leading wildfire experts and practitioners to highlight the urgent need to develop a transformative vision and implementation strategy for wildfires before it is too late.

The symposium will shed light on the profound impacts of wildfires and tremendous costs to people in B.C., emphasizing that the 2017 to 2023 fire seasons were not an anomaly but a new and escalating reality fueled by climate change.

Join the symposium June 3 to 5, 2024, in Kelowna and learn about the stark realities of the societal, health, cultural, environmental, and economic costs of wildfires across B.C. and the actions needed now.

The Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions is proud to be an organizer and sponsor of this symposium.
