The PVHA is facilitating a Wildfire Round Table Debrief on September 23rd at the Pemberton Legion 6 PM - 8 PM.

After this Summer’s wildfire events we would love to discuss our thoughts around what went well, what we feel we could improve on & more ideas for the future!

We want to hear your feedback & thoughts about how we can be more prepared and potentially create a resource manual of sorts, should this happen again in our little community.

This summer taught us how important is it for the community to have a plan. It was absolutely amazing how the community came together throughout the Sea to Sky to help make room for those evacuated.

Please join us to share your thoughts, recommendations or just to hear other people’s input. The more the merrier!
