Introducing the Wildfire Resilience Consortium of Canada (WRCC): Throughout Canada, people are doing inspiring work to improve our wildfire resilience – from FireSmart™ in communities, to efforts on the fire line, to stewardship of lands, to research across sectors, diverse groups of people are pitching in. You might be one of them! Though this inspiring work happens from coast-to-coast-to-coast, it can be challenging to know who is doing what, where it is happening, and how others can learn from it. The Wildfire Resilience Consortium of Canada (WRCC) is a national non-profit that was established in 2025 to help empower people to work together to transform wildfire resilience in Canada. Based on strong foundational work by wildfire leaders in Canada, the WRCC is specifically designed to support Indigenous fire stewardship, enhance knowledge exchange opportunities, and accelerate wildfire technology and innovation.

To make our work place-based, the WRCC is establishing seven regional networks in Canada, each convened by a Regional Coordinator. In 2026, the Regional Coordinators will launch webpages to highlight regional success stories and share upcoming events. Visit our website to learn who your Regional Coordinator is, find updates on these offerings, and reach out to help direct our work.
