FireSmart builds skills in First Nations communities to prevent and prepare against wildland fires. Programming involves training First Nations teams in wildfire suppression duties, as well as fuel management and vegetation clearing, which reduces the intensity and spread of wildfires. FireSmart also leverages Indigenous knowledge of the local environment and terrain to improve emergency planning, preparation, and response to wildfires. FireSmart project funding is available for initiatives, such as:

wildfire pre-suppression planning
wildfire risk assessments
fuel reduction, forest thinning, prescribed burning
fire breaks
wildland fire crew training
vegetation management
fire mapping
FireSmart training, workshops, conferences
community and youth engagement

To meet Canada’s ambitious target of cutting greenhouse gas emissions 40–45 percent below 2005 levels by 2030 and reaching net zero by 2050, Canada’s economy will need to be powered by clean energy sources and driven by low- and zero-emission transportation. On the path to net-zero, Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) is committed to building meaningful partnerships and ensuring Indigenous peoples benefit from funding opportunities that can contribute to our shared fight against climate change.

To help address challenges related to awareness, understanding, and confidence in zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs), lower-carbon trucks, and clean fuels, NRCan is piloting a continuous intake call for proposals for Indigenous-led projects that address these barriers to adoption.

Funding Municipal
Description:
We offer combined loan and grant funding to support municipalities in implementing one or more phases of a selected GHG reduction pathway. Eligible projects may focus on a single building or a portfolio of municipal buildings. Your capital project should consist of one or more phases in a sequence of retrofit measures (pathway) to reduce emissions from your municipal building by at least 50 percent within 10 years and achieve best practice energy targets within 20 years. Applications are encouraged to demonstrate a pathway that reduces the most amount of GHGs in the near term (ie., in the next 10 years), through the pursuit of a deep energy retrofit and fuel-switch.
