Knowledge sharing and training around the use of prescribed fire as a conservation management tool.

04/30/2026

We're excited to team up with College Canada in Vermilion to offer a first-of-its-kind introduction to prescribed fire course in Alberta!

Participants will learn how to work on a burn crew, safely conduct a prescribed fire and use fireline equipment.

This hands-on, in-person course at Lakeland College's Vermilion campus will be held for the first time from May 20-22, 2026. This course is targeted for beginners - previous prescribed fire experience is not required!

The three-day course costs $300 CA -- including all course materials and lunches.
