Date: Saturday, May 28, 2022
Location: Sooke Community Market
Time: 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM
Sooke is located within the Wildland Urban Interface zone meaning our community is at a greater risk of a devasting wildfire. Homeowners play an important role in wildfire prevention; they can directly reduce the wildfire risk and damage to their property by using FireSmart principles.
Gather neighbours, friends and family members who want to participate in this event and get prepared.
