NRCan Fire Resiliency Pilot Project

A pilot project that supports fire-resiliency

Climate resiliency is an increasingly important, tangible element of home construction and home renovation. Residents of the interior of British Columbia have already experienced immense challenges and loss related to forest fire disasters. This program will support 12 homes in British Columbia or Alberta being built with innovative new techniques to improve resiliency during forest fire events. Fire-resilient construction helps prevent damage to your home and belongings and buys valuable time for evacuation in the event of a fire. Participants in this offer can receive rebates and building and insulation materials to build more fire resilient homes.

If you answer yes the following, consider registering!

  • Located within British Columbia or Alberta;
  • A New Construction build for the Participant’s primary residence;
  • The Property must be built to fire-resilient standards
