The Community Wildfire Protection Plan identified Kalamoir Regional Park as high priority for fuel treatment. This will help to manage fire risk levels in the park, decreasing the amount of combustible material (underbrush and dead wood) to reduce fire risk and wildfire intensity. Treatments include a range of actions including hazardous tree and debris removal, thinning, and prescriptive burns, among others.
Funding for this treatment comes from the RDCO and the provincial government Community Resiliency Investment program.
Smoking, vaping and open flames are not allowed any time in regional or RDCO community parks. Due to continued hot and dry conditions the Regional District reminds visitors to use caution and be aware of fire prevention and safety requirements when in regional parks throughout the summer.
There are more than 2,100 hectares of parkland available to discover in 30 regional and 20 RDCO community parks. Find all the locations for your next adventure at rdco.com/parks.
