  Wildfire Fuel Mitigation Project

  As recommended by the District of Houston’s Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) and a broader Provincial strategy for wildfire management, prescribed burns will continue to take place west of Houston as part of an ongoing wildfire fuel mitigation and interface management initiative. The CWPP identified the area between Buck Flats Road and the Morice Forest Service Road as a high-risk area for a wildfire spread due to the high combustibility and density of dead and dry vegetation in that area.

  Community Hall Project Consultation

  The District of Houston is pleased to announce that preliminary design concept plans for the community hall project are now ready to be presented for public feedback and consultation.

The proposal only offers guidance on location, project scope, facility layout, and a class D (+/- 50) cost estimate and has not proceeded into a more detailed design stage.
