	Safe hiking and caribou

July 2023

The next time you head out for a hike, ask yourself if you're prepared – and if you're doing all you can to avoid starting a wildfire. This month, we're offering hiking safety and FireSmart tips, along with unusual ways to stay cool as summer's sizzle arrives. Also, switching from diesel power makes Martini Film Studios a Clean Energy Champion, and Indigenous stewards have helped triple the size of a B.C. caribou herd at an innovative maternity pen in the north.
