The Blueprint for Wildland Fire Science (2019-2029) was released in February 2019. Led by the Canadian Forest Service, working in partnership with provinces, territories, Indigenous organizations, academia, and other non-government organizations, the Blueprint provides a national consensus view of Canada’s key wildland fire research priorities and goals over the next ten years. It also makes 15 recommendations intended to guide science investments, attract new partnerships, and align national research efforts.

Community input and participation was critical to how the Blueprint was developed and it will continue to be essential in moving it forward.  During this workshop, participants will take part in facilitated discussions to help establish next steps toward Blueprint implementation (short- and medium-term), identify opportunities for partnership and leadership, and prioritize Blueprint recommendations.

Please note, attendance at this workshop is not capped per se, nor is there any registration fee,  but there is a limit to the capacity of the room so please let Stacey Sankey (stacey.sankey@canada.ca)  or Rhonda Burke (rhonda.burke@canada.ca) aware of your interest early!
