Introducing a better, more engaging Virtual Experience
"Your feedback drives us to improve, and we recognize that the virtual experience in previous years fell short. This year, we’re stepping it up with a more engaging and feature-rich platform for our virtual attendees. You’ll be able to connect with other virtual attendees through networking and chat, participate in surveys and polls, and enjoy an upgraded livestream for a smoother hybrid experience. We’ve also added virtual booths for exhibitors, allowing you to connect with them directly." WFCA Board and Executive

It’s been an animated year so far for B.C. forestry conferences. The TLA annual convention was well attended again. The 2019 ABCFP conference was sold out weeks in advance. And the WFCA event at the end of January had the largest attendance ever. For those of us who organize these things we like to think it’s our programs that are so attractive. But there’s likely something else drawing people together lately in such strength.

In recent years, a new priority in fire protection has emerged in British Columbia (B.C.). "Structure protection trailer units have been put in service by the Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD) and other jurisdictions. Structure Protection Unit are used to protect homes, commercial buildings and all structures threatened by Wildland fires," said Jake Jacobson of Wildwood Resources Ltd. in Salmon Arm, B.C..
Jacobson says the province has several Structure Protection semi-trailers that are dispatched quickly with trained personnel to communities that are threatened by a wildfire.
