All available funding has been distributed to Penticton residents by the City to support wildfire mitigation projects on their properties.
Through the 2026 FireSmart Rebate Program (May 2026 to April 2027), 27 eligible households received rebates totalling $20,000 to support wildfire risk reduction efforts. Funded through the UBCM Community Resiliency Investment Program, the initiative helps create a safer, more resilient community.
The City will continue seeking funding opportunities to support wildfire mitigation programs and encourages residents to watch for future opportunities to participate.
Please note: Rebates have ended for 2026, but wildfire mitigation is important year-round. We encourage residents to continue their household FireSmart initiatives. Residents can also book a free Wildfire Mitigation Assessment by emailing firesmart@penticton.ca.
