🔥 Wildfire Prevention Starts With All of Us 🔥

The trails and forested areas throughout the regional district, are enjoyed year-round by hikers, walkers, ATV riders, and side-by-side enthusiasts. While these outdoor spaces provide incredible recreational opportunities, increased activity can also increase the risk of human-caused wildfires.

A single spark from an off-road vehicle, discarded cigarette, or unattended campfire can have devastating consequences for our forests, wildlife, homes, and community.

As we head into wildfire season, everyone can help reduce the risk by:

✅ Staying on designated trails

✅ Ensuring ATVs and off-road vehicles are equipped with functioning spark arrestors

✅ Never discarding ci******es or matches on the ground

✅ Following all fire bans and restrictions

✅ Reporting smoke or fire immediately by calling 9-1-1 or *5555 on a cell phone

Wildfire prevention is a shared responsibility. By recreating responsibly and staying fire aware, we can help protect the places we love and keep our community safe.

Together, we can reduce wildfire risk and preserve our communities natural spaces for future generations.

National AccessAbility Week | Day 7
May 31 – June 6

As National AccessAbility Week (NAAW) comes to a close, the SRD joins communities across Canada in celebrating the contributions of persons with disabilities and recognizing the importance of accessibility and inclusion in everyday life.

This week, we've shared stories from local residents through our accessibility film series. Their experiences have offered valuable perspectives and reminded us that creating welcoming, accessible communities is a shared responsibility that benefits everyone.

🎥 For the final video in our series, we're sharing Kristine and Isabelle's story. They both speak about the importance of accessible recreation spaces and highlight how thoughtful design features—such as pool lifts, accessible entries, and inclusive facilities—can make it possible for everyone to participate safely and independently. Their story is a reminder that accessibility creates opportunities for connection, recreation, and belonging.

As National AccessAbility Week concludes, we encourage residents to continue the conversation. The SRD's online feedback tool is available year-round for residents to share accessibility barriers, positive experiences, and ideas for improvement: srd.ca/accessibility

SRD Accessibility and Inclusion initiatives are delivered in partnership with the City of Campbell River - Local Government, Village of Zeballos, Village of Gold River, Village of Tahsis, Village of Sayward, SD84 Vancouver Island West, and Vancouver Island Regional Library + Fans. These videos were created with generous production support from Jolly Good Multimedia.
