Wildfire Community Preparedness Day (WCPD) encourages communities across Canada to come together and work toward increasing fire resiliency and education in their area. Communities can take action by reducing potential wildfire fuel sources—and have the opportunity to be awarded $500 to fund their WCPD initiative. In 2025, Wildfire Community Preparedness Day falls on Saturday, May 3.
