Lake Louise Community Fire Guard
This project will reduce the threat of wildfire to the community of Lake Louise and surrounding areas and improve fire resistance in the Bow Valley. The guard will serve as a containment-line to support large-scale wildfire suppression activities and provide a continuous valley-wide forest-fuel break from the south slope of Mount St. Piran to the cleared ski area runs on Whitehorn Mountain. This will be achieved by conducting large scale, mechanical forest thinning, while utilizing natural breaks and existing fuel management units. Combined with interface-level fuel reduction (FireSmart), which is already underway, the guard will reduce the threat of structure ignition from short-range and long-range embers.
