On Monday, March 24, residents in the area are encouraged to have any highly flammable vegetation like cedar, fir, and pine ready on their curbside to be picked up.

"This initiative aims to help homeowners reduce wildfire risks by clearing hazardous fuel sources around their properties," reads a press release. "This is an essential step in increasing the safety of homes and ensuring the neighbourhood is better protected from potential wildfires like the McDougall Creek Fire that jumped the lake in 2023."

"By reducing highly flammable coniferous vegetation, maintaining defensible space, and using fire-resistant materials, we can significantly lower the risk of wildfires impacting our neighbourhood," added CMNA fire fuel removal organizer Jim Burkell.
