A forest fire burns among a residential area

BC and Northwest Territories Wildfire Appeal

Many of us have watched the devastation of this year’s fire season in B.C. unfold on TV and social media in recent weeks. Fast-moving wildfires have wiped out homes, neighbourhoods, and communities, leading to countless tragedies.

Many who have suffered unimaginable loss are our friends, our family, and our REALTOR® community.

The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) has launched a fundraising campaign to support the B.C. Fires Appeal, as well as the Northwest Territories Fires Appeal, where a wildfire is burning about 15 kilometers northwest of Yellowknife.

Please consider making a tax-receiptable donation using CREA’s REALTORS Care® fundraising page to support those affected both here at home and in the Northwest Territories.

With the approval of the Board of Directors, FVREB has donated $25,000 to the Canadian Red Cross to help with ongoing relief efforts.
