The City of Quesnel’s Wildfire Recovery Team has completed the Wildfire Recovery Plan for the North Cariboo. 831 formal and informal in-person interviews, phone calls, and submitted surveys with businesses and non-profit organizations informed the plan.

The Wildfire Recovery Plan includes specific requests of further support from the Province based on gaps identified by the recovery team. The plan also includes a list of action steps to be taken to start recovery following any future disaster. These steps are based on lessons learned following the wildfires. Finally, the plan contains a long list of completed, in progress, and potential actions that have or could be taken to hasten recovery following the 2017 wildfires.
