Chetwynd council approves extreme cold mapping proposal

FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. – The District of Chetwynd is moving forward with a second phase of extreme temperature mapping of the region following a unanimous decision by council on August 6th.

The Extreme Cold Risk Mapping and Assessment Partnership proposal was submitted to Mayor Allen Courtoreille and council on July 24th and brought before council at the August 6th meeting. 

The proposal is estimated to cost approximately $23,450, according to a quote provided by Frontera Forest Solutions. Funds will be provided from Indigenous Engagement Requirements for Emergency Management Planning. 

The project follows the extreme heat risk mapping and assessment in 2023 and is, therefore, estimated to cost far less, as much of the preliminary research necessary can be applied to the new assessment. 

The assessment was approved unanimously by council, and the project was awarded to Frontera Forest Solutions.
