Zanzibar Holdings Ltd. and the community of Stswecem’c Xgat’tem First Nation (St-wet-lem hight-lem) (SXFN)
partnered to reduce wildfire risk in forested areas near Big Bar Lake, which is located approximately 40 kilometres west of Clinton, B.C. The goal of the project was to create fuel breaks to help reduce the intensity and rate of spread of an approaching wildfire and to provide a point of attack for fire suppression activities in
the event of a wildfire. The joint project with SXFN (formerly Dog Creek Indian Band & Canoe Creek Indian Band)
provided employment for local crews for two years.
