Overview
Stakeholders and Indigenous settlements, nations, and council members were able to share feedback to help inform an Alberta Wildfire Mitigation Strategy to improve and strengthen Alberta’s resilience to wildfires through collaborative actions.
Wildfires in Alberta are increasing in frequency and severity, leading to many challenging wildfire seasons over the past 20 years. Thousands of Albertans have felt the impact due to loss of property, evacuations, damage to communities and infrastructure, as well as poor air quality caused by smoke.
The impacts of wildfires are broad and go beyond economic, geographic, and social boundaries. An Alberta strategy that involves cooperation through the entire province will help foster resilience as we look to the future.
Engagement timeline
Get informed
The Canadian Council of Forest Ministers have asked all areas of society to participate in the Canadian Wildland Fire Prevention and Mitigation Strategy to ensure greater wildfire resilience in the future.
The Alberta Wildfire Mitigation Strategy will align with this pan-Canadian strategy to mitigate the impacts of wildfires to all Albertans.
Input received
Online survey
Targeted stakeholders shared feedback through an online survey from June 8 to July 3, 2024.
In-person and online meetings
We also met with stakeholders in-person and online from June to August, 2024, as well as follow up sessions in February 2025.
Outcomes
Stakeholder feedback helped guide the development of the Alberta Wildfire Mitigation Strategy and will inform government's efforts to reduce the impact of wildfires on Albertans.
The Alberta Wildfire Mitigation Strategy is aiming to be approved by fall 2025.
