The federal government of Canada and the province of Quebec have announced an investment of $64 million to mitigate wildfires. This funding aims to enhance wildfire prevention, response, and resilience in affected communities. The initiative will support various projects, including improved firefighting equipment, training programs, and public awareness campaigns. This investment highlights the commitment to protecting lives, property, and natural resources from the increasing threat of wildfires.
The investment is made through the federal government’s Fighting and Managing Wildfires in a Changing Climate Program – Equipment Fund, will go towards the purchase of wildfire fire fighting equipment.
Examples of this equipment include vehicles, drones and telecommunications equipment, as well as hiring and training personnel, the government reported in a press statement.
“The 2023 forest fire season was very significant for Quebecers. We have invested substantial sums in recent years, notably in the last Quebec budget, to acquire equipment and build capacity in the field and in training,” said François Bonnardel, minister of public safety and minister responsible for the Estrie region, in a media release.
“This funding will enable us to build on our past investments and better protect the communities living near the affected areas.”
