Lori Daniels

We are proud to congratulate Dr. Lori Daniels, MSc’94, on receiving this year’s Faculty Community Service Award at the Alumni Achievement Awards. A leading expert in wildfire resilience, Dr. Daniels has made an extraordinary impact through her commitment to community engagement and knowledge sharing. As a co-founder and the inaugural Koerner Chair of the Centre for Wildfire Coexistence, she works closely with Indigenous and rural communities to co-develop science-based, culturally grounded solutions that support wildfire preparedness and long-term forest health. Her dedication to public education, spanning hundreds of media interviews, speaking events, and national forums, has helped shape policy, strengthen stewardship, and deepen understanding of how we can coexist with wildfire.
