The Comox Valley FireSmart Resilience Committee is pleased to announce a collaborative effort to host a yard and wood waste chipping event on April 27 and 28 at the Comox Fire Hall parking lot (1870 Noel Avenue) from 8 a.m. – 3 p.m. This event is proudly funded by the Province of British Columbia’s Community Resiliency Investment grant.

This free drop-off chipping event is being held to support FireSmart safety on properties by facilitating the removal of excess yard waste and wood debris that could potentially fuel wildfires and endanger homes. Yard waste collected during the event will be chipped and responsibly disposed.
