Without wildfire, the landscape loses its diversity. Wildfires recycle nutrients, help plants reproduce and create a mosaic of vegetation that provides habitat for a variety of wildlife. By extending our lifestyles and communities further into forested areas, we become more exposed to the danger of wildfire. Living where wildfires can occur puts your home at risk, but it is possible to live safely with this natural event. The recommendations in this guide will reduce the risk of wildfire to your home and neighbourhood and help firefighters to defend your home.2023-11-22T18:15:39.843297+00:00https://open.alberta.ca/dataset/8eb53bbf-0a47-472a-8aa9-3f9c133501caAlberta anti-racism grant program guideline2023-12-18T15:31:09.182861+00:00Anti-Racism Grant Program Guideline to help applicants understand the grant criteria and how to apply for the grant.2023-12-13T23:18:47.164429+00:00https://open.alberta.ca/dataset/fdde7895-f248-4a2a-92e7-b519c4268148Alberta ethnocultural grant program guideline 2023-20242024-01-03T18:41:37.783670+00:00Alberta's Ethnocultural Grant supports community organizations to implement initiatives that build diverse, inclusive, and welcoming multicultural communities to help ensure that people from diverse ethnocultural backgrounds want to live and work in Alberta.
