Canada Strengthens Wildfire Preparedness with Strategic Knowledge Investments

Dated: August 13, 2025

Canada is experiencing an intense wildfire season, with communities across the country facing growing risks and impacts. In response, the Government of Canada is investing in wildfire resilience, prevention, mitigation, and recovery through advances in knowledge, science, and innovation.

Corey Hogan, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, announced $45.7 million in funding for 30 projects under Natural Resources Canada’s Build and Mobilize Foundational Wildland Fire Knowledge program. These initiatives focus on improving wildfire risk assessments, advancing mitigation strategies, and supporting adaptive forestry practices. The program also prioritizes Indigenous-led projects, equipping communities with the tools needed to lead on fire stewardship and enhance local preparedness.

The funding aims to strengthen wildfire resilience as fires become more frequent and severe. Government leaders emphasize the importance of collaboration, community support, and equipping Canadians with the information and resources needed to stay safe during wildfire events. Indigenous knowledge and cultural fire stewardship are highlighted as key components in protecting communities and ecosystems.

This announcement builds on previous investments, including the $11.7 million to establish the Wildfire Resilience Consortium of Canada, which brings together governments, Indigenous communities, experts, and industry to promote science-based wildfire prevention and response. Under the program, over $41.7 million is allocated to 20 research and demonstration projects, while $3.9 million supports 10 Indigenous-led initiatives through the Supporting and Mobilizing Indigenous Fire Knowledge grant.

The Build and Mobilize Foundational Wildland Fire Knowledge program is part of Natural Resources Canada’s Wildfire Resilient Futures Initiative, aligned with the National Adaptation Strategy, to enhance resilience and reduce wildfire risks nationwide. Additional federal supports and resources for Canadians impacted by wildfires are available at Canada.ca/wildfires.
