Simple (many FREE) steps around your forest home can make your home or cottage/cabin more resilient to wildfire. Choosing fire resistant building materials helps, too. Worthy of investigation / investment!!
Everyone can play a part in reducing their wildland fire risks around their homes.
Go to ontario.ca/FireSmart for guides and resources to help mitigate the risk of damage to your home by a wildland fire.

Save station ribbon cutting ceremony today at Rosseau General Store.
One defibrillator (they light up at night) was used over the May long weekend. There are 3 in the village - the other 2 are in the sports field and waterfront. The presence of these around the community has prompted many locals and cottagers, particularly islanders to train for emergencies.
Know your address and island number.
Sequin Mayor - Ann MacDiarmid, Muskoka Lakes - Mayor Peter Kelley and members of Council on hand.
Thank you to the Rosseau General Store, Muskoka Woods, Jayne's Cottages and Muskoka Lakes Marina for their contribution. Those in attendance were given a demo.
So great to reconnect with water friends and colleagues @rivermeredith #watercanadasummit
