Thank you to everyone who shared their thoughts on our Community Wildfire Resiliency Plan! Check back later this year for the What We Heard Report and the final plan.
About
The Community Wildfire Resiliency Plan (CWRP) is the primary wildfire risk reduction plan for communities in British Columbia. The City of West Kelowna’s 2024 CWRP builds on the recommendations of the 2018 Community Wildfire Preparedness Plan, further strengthening our neighbourhoods against future wildfire threats.
The CWRP will help the City and West Kelowna Fire Rescue develop achievable and strategic action items to enhance community wildfire resiliency while prioritizing wildfire risk management in the wildland-urban interface, where homes and buildings intersect with forested areas.
What’s happening
Mitigation through forest fire fuel reduction is a crucial annual activity involving City staff, contractors, and the general public. By actively engaging in wildfire fuel mitigation efforts and adopting FireSmart practices, we can enhance our community’s resilience against wildfires, and protect our homes, infrastructure, and environment.
Council’s Strategic Priorities
The Community Wildfire Resiliency Plan will support Council’s Strategic Priorities of Fostering Safety and Well-being with continued investment in wildfire mitigation efforts. Learn more at OurWK.ca/council.
Ways to get involved:
Everyone has a role to play in protecting life and property by adopting FireSmart practices for building and landscape maintenance.

We want to hear from you regarding the impacts of wildfire in our community and what your priorities are for wildfire management. This survey will inform the project team about potential sources of wildfire risk, public concerns, and options for mitigation.
The survey will remain open until Nov. 4, 2024 and will take approximately 7-10 minutes to complete.
Your input will be considered in the development of the Community Wildfire Resiliency Plan.
