Helping Albertans recover from wildfires

Wildfires in May and June burned more than 1.4 million hectares and resulted in about 38,000 Albertans being evacuated from their homes. Because of the actions of thousands of firefighters from Alberta as well as from across Canada and the world, no lives were lost and most of the wildfires are now under control.

Alberta’s government has approved a $175-million Disaster Recovery Program to help Alberta communities recoup costs related to the wildfire response and recovery.
