Community Wildfire Resiliency Plan
Community Wildfire Protection Plans help to identify the risks of wildfire in communities as well as opportunities to reduce those risks.
The 2026 Regional District of Central Okanagan's Community Wildfire Resiliency Plan (CWRP) is the primary wildfire risk reduction plan for communities in Electoral Areas East and West. This includes the Ellison, Joe Rich and the south end of June Springs Road and Lakeshore Road in Electoral Area East, and Traders Cove, Killiney Beach, Westshore Estates, Fintry, Valley of the Sun, Trepanier Road and Brent Road in Electoral Area West.
The Regional District of Central Okanagan’s 2026 CWRP builds on the forest management recommendations of Forsite, further strengthening our neighbourhoods against future wildfire threats.

The CWRP will help the Regional District of Central Okanagan develop achievable and strategic action items to enhance community wildfire resiliency while prioritizing wildfire risk management in the wildland-urban interface, where homes and buildings intersect with forested areas. Mitigation through forest fire fuel reduction is a crucial annual activity involving RDCO staff, contractors and the general public.
