Saskatchewan Wildfire Risk Reduction and Community Resilience Project

in progress

This project will provide wildland fire mitigation for 84 communities in Saskatchewan through the construction, rehabilitation and expansion of fuel mitigation and power infrastructure. The recipient, Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency, and the ultimate recipient, Saskatchewan Power Corporation will manage work activities adjacent to the communities and the ultimate recipient Northern Saskatchewan Administration District will manage work activities that are within community boundaries. This project will greatly increase the resilience of the community, and directly benefit 150,000 people exposed to wildland fire risks while allowing for long-term savings on recovery and replacement costs.
