Join us in Nanaimo for an exclusive screening of this urgent and impactful documentary, exploring the roots of British Columbia’s wildfire crisis and what we must do to protect our forests, communities, and future. This powerful documentary addresses British Columbia’s escalating wildfire crisis and the urgent need for solutions. With five catastrophic fire seasons in eight years, entire communities are at risk, emissions are soaring, and the economic toll is immense. Since 2017, over seven million hectares—larger than Ireland—have burned, routinely doubling BC’s annual carbon emissions and costing billions in suppression, community devastation, timber losses, and health impacts. But within this crisis lies opportunity. The film explores how proactive forest management and policy reforms can reduce fire risk. A fact-finding journey to California highlights innovative strategies from its Wildfire and Forest Resilience Action Plan. BC is Burning is more than a documentary—it’s a call to action to rethink how we manage our forests, protect our communities, and secure a sustainable future for British Columbia.
 
The documentary will be followed by a Q&A with filmmaker Murray Wilson.
