This September brought a great deal of smoke into the interior and across BC from fires burning in the US and it serves as a reminder to all of us that we need to keep our FireSmart Initiatives going to help protect our community. The Predator Ridge FireSmart Committee has continued to apply for any grants that become available and we are pleased to announce that we have received a $500.00 Grant from FireSmart Canada and a $300.00 Grant from the City of Vernon for bins to collect and haul away debris from our Community Clean Up Event which will take place on October 17th.
We are looking for Volunteers for our Event on October 17th. We appreciate your support, participation and commitment to the FireSmart program and our volunteer efforts during the past 5 years. If you are new to the community, we welcome you to come out and learn about our FireSmart initiatives.
Due to Covid, we would ask you to sign up in advance to volunteer at this event. This allows us to plan ahead and keep everyone working at a respectable distance with covid measures in place. Please bring your own mask to the event.
