Williams Lake First Nation block party aimed to entertain while educating

Fun activities were paired with some information on FireSmart for homes

Williams Lake First Nation (WLFN) hosted a community block party on Aug. 26 at the Byron Louie Memorial ball diamond.

The all-day event was free and open to everyone, with games and activities, prizes, bouncy castles, and lots of participation from other community groups.

Kyleen Toyne, WLFN social development coordinator, and Willem Faasse, WLFN FireSmart coordinator, partnered on the event to help get some messages out to the community about the Fire Smart program and things people can do to protect their property prior to and during wildfire season.

Live music was scheduled for later in the day as well.
