“Brush must be clean and free of dirt and rocks, and woody debris must be no larger than approximately five inches in diameter.”

The TNRD asks residents to place debris at the end of their driveway the night before pickup. You can make pickup easier by stacking wood and butt ends facing the road.

Regional government officials said they are open to hosting more chipping events upon request.

“TNRD chipping day events are funded through the TNRD FireSmart program, which is a grant-funded program through the Province of B.C.,” said the TNRD.

“Community groups within TNRD Electoral Areas interested in having a chipping day in their local area can contact TNRD FireSmart staff at 250-377-6326 or firesmart@tnrd.ca.”

The TNRD FireSmart program also offers incentives to rural home owners, including free assessments and rebates of up to $1,000 for fire mitigation work.
