Silvacom Fireguard Use Case Information Sheet

Wabasca-Desmarais, located in Alberta’s Municipal District of Opportunity No. 17, is home to around 3,300 residents, including members of the Bigstone Cree Nation. Surrounded by dense forests and nestled between North and South Wabasca Lakes, this community is rich in Indigenous culture and natural beauty. However, its remote location and limited access routes heighten the risk of wildfires, making resilient infrastructure and emergency preparedness a priority.
