Welcome to FireSmartPeaks

Welcome to FireSmartPeaks, the Peaks of Grassi FireSmart Committee.

Established by a group of residents of Canmore's Peaks of Grassi neighbourhood, FireSmartPeaks is working with the Town of Canmore, Canmore Fire Rescue and FireSmart Alberta to empower Peaks' residents to take steps to increase the resilience of their homes, properties and the neighbourhood against the threat of wildland fire. 

The FireSmartPeaks website is intended as a resource for Peaks' residents, and the broader community of Canmore, to keep them informed of planned activities, ways in which they can be involved, and steps they can take, as residents and homeowners, to reduce the negative impacts of wildland fire.

Use the drop-down menu at the top of the page to learn more about FireSmartPeaks and our activities and how you can get involved.

And take note of these important dates for 2025:

Saturday, 3 May - Wildfire Community Preparedness Day

Join us at the park at east end of Peaks for a BBQ (courtesy of Canmore Fire-Rescue), to meet members of FireSmartPeaks and to get information on how you can help to protect your home and the neighbourhood against the risk of wildfire.

Saturday, 7 June - Clean the Peaks Day

Get support and help your neighbours clear out deadfall from yards, move firewood piles, prune conifers and take other actions to help protect your home and the neighbourhood against the risk of wildfire.
