As wildfires grow more intense across Canada, the federal government has announced $45.7 million in funding for 30 wildfire research and preparedness projects. Through Natural Resources Canada’s Foundational Wildfire Knowledge program, the initiative will improve risk assessments, adaptive forestry, and Indigenous-led fire stewardship. The goal: strengthen national resilience, prevention, and recovery. With wildfires on the rise, this investment marks a key step in protecting Canadians, their homes, and the environment.
