The Summer Village of Waiparous is gearing up for Wildfire Community Preparedness Day (WCPD) with an event this weekend.

Residents will come together to tackle various projects to ensure the community is well-prepared for the approaching wildfire season.

The community is hosting a prep day where residents are invited to take part in a pump practice, do a light cleanup and enjoy a BBQ lunch. 

As a bonus, participants will have the opportunity to win door prizes.
