Journalist Bootcamp: Wildfire mitigation

June 16-19, 2025| British Columbia

The Max Bell School of Public Policy is organizing a flagship gathering at the intersection of journalism and wildfire—a first-of-its-kind dialogue bringing together 20 leading journalists and 20 wildfire experts to reimagine how we tell one of the most urgent stories of our time. Organized in partnership with the Centre for Dialogue (Simon Fraser University), this event offers a rare opportunity to step outside institutional roles and engage in open, off-the-record conversation. We’ll explore the shifting paradigms of wildfire, the gaps and potential in current media narratives, and the power of collaborative storytelling to shape public understanding and action.
