Today's Senate Committee Report: "Canada on Fire" sparks an important conversation about improving wildfire preparation.
#ClimateProofCanada particularly echoes the recommendation to include adaptation measures in the 2030 National Building Code and incentivizing residents to purchase FireSmart homes.
Additionally, the Senate Committee calls for a coordinated approach in response to the human and health-consequences of wildfires.

6,837 wildfires. 232,359 evacuees. 14.6 million hectares burned in 2023.
A new report from the Senate Committee on Agriculture and Forestry highlights the need for stronger federal investment and improved coordination to respond to Canada’s escalating wildfire crisis.
Wildfires continue to displace communities across the country, with First Nations, Métis and Inuit communities facing heightened risk due to location and limited resources and infrastructure.

This #EPWeek2026, I joined my provincial and territorial counterparts to share a simple message: know your risks and be prepared.
Emergencies can happen anywhere, at any time. Taking small steps now can make all the difference.

Climate Proof Canada applauds this announcement to boost Canada’s aerial wildfire capacity. This is a meaningful investment to strengthen frontline response ahead of the 2026 wildfire season. #CDNpoli #ClimateProofcanada
Canada is strengthening its wildfire response.
Our new government announced a $316.7M investment to expand national aerial firefighting capacity through CIFFC that will use this funding to lease and manage the deployment of that capacity where it is the most needed.
We are taking leadership by bolstering support to provinces and territories and helping protect communities from growing wildfire threats. 🇨🇦🌳

Yesterday's announcement on Build Canada Homes is an important step forward in catalyzing the new homes Canada needs.
However, where and how we build matters. We must make sure new homes are built away from high risk flood and wildfire zones to protect Canadians and keep housing affordable. #ClimateProofCanada #Cdnpoli
