FireSmart Neighbourhood Champion

Becoming a FireSmart Neighbourhood

FireSmart™ Canada’s Neighbourhood Recognition Program (NRP) is a national program developed to officially recognize neighbourhoods that have taken critical steps to reduce their vulnerability to wildland fire. The program focuses on bringing neighbours together to address threats on their respective properties, and those in common areas within the community.

Every neighbourhood first needs a Neighbourhood Champion, someone who is looking to improve their neighbourhood’s resilience to wildland fire while building relationships. The Neighbourhood Champion rallies their neighbours and acts as a point of contact between the Local FireSmart Coordinator and the residents.
