On October 25, the Canadian Wildfire Conference will bring together leaders from ground and air services who have been on the front lines and working tirelessly throughout a record-breaking wildfire season in Canada for our inaugural Appreciation Dinner.

The Appreciation Dinner will be held at the Summerhill Pyramid Winery in Kelowna, B.C., beginning with a welcoming cocktail reception at 5:00 pm. The evening will feature a keynote by former sports broadcasting personality Michael Landsberg, founder of SickNotWeak, an organization dedicated to spreading the message that mental illness is a sickness not a weakness.

The Canadian Wildfire Conference, an expanded program of the Aerial Firefighting Conference, is designed to bring together leaders from both the air and ground sectors involved in wildfire suppression. Presented in partnership by the industry leading brands of Annex Business Media, including Wings, Helicopters, Canadian Firefighter and Fire Fighting in Canada, conference sessions begin on October 26 at the KF Aerospace Centre for Excellence in Kelowna.
