EDMONTON, AB – As Canada marks the 10th anniversary of the Fort McMurray wildfire – the country’s most devastating and costliest natural disaster – Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC) is raising awareness about ongoing wildfire risk across the country and renewing its call for solutions to help prevent disasters of this scale in the future. “Fort McMurray was a turning point in Canadian history and was a devastating example of the extreme wildfire risk facing many communities,” said Aaron Sutherland, Vice-President, Pacific and Western, IBC. “Since that time, we’ve seen communities in every region of the country impacted by wildfire and, led by Fort McMurray’s example, Canadians have endured and rebuilt. But the growing risk is undeniable and without action, more families and more communities will be impacted by wildfire in the years ahead.” …In 2025 BC released a three‑point resilience plan for governments to better protect communities from wildfires, floods, and other climate disasters.
