Potential wildfire research institute at TRU enters final consideration stage
KAMLOOPS — A research institute at Thompson Rivers University (TRU) that focuses on wildfires is coming closer to fruition.
In a news release issued Tuesday (Oct. 24) morning, TRU announced its senate endorsed an Institute for Wildfire Science, Adaptation and Resiliency during its Oct. 23 meeting.
If established, TRU says the wildfire institute would spearhead studies and innovations aimed at preventing, mitigating, responding to and recovering from wildfires.
