About the Roundtable

The Lillooet & Area Community Wildfire Preparedness Roundtable was created to better protect against wildfires in the region by supporting good coordination and communication among the organizations responsible for different aspects of wildfire preparedness and risk reduction.

The first meeting was in June 2022 in Lillooet, co-hosted by the Fraser Basin Council and Squamish-Lillooet Regional District (SLRD). There were 35 participants at the meeting from the Northern St’at’imc territory — including those from local, First Nations and provincial governments and other community members. Participants included fire department staff and volunteers, elected officials and emergency planning staff from the SLRD, District of Lillooet, Lillooet Tribal Council and the St’at’imc communities, forestry consultants, and staff from BC Ministry of Forests, BC Timber Sales and the BC Wildfire Service.
