Remember<br />
By Jia Zhang (WLFN Intern)<br />
In this morning mist, twelve-thousands of<br />
poppies blow<br />
My name is on the Cross, row on row<br />
What is the special about this Remembrance<br />
Day?<br />
The special is to carry my honor in your way<br />
FireSmart available<br />
for WLFN Members<br />
Love! Do not stand at my grave and cry<br />
Think about my courage and service done<br />
with pride<br />
How do you make it your own<br />
Remembrance Day?<br />
Start to count your blessing day by day<br />
I am the one of the soldier boys and fought<br />
for all<br />
you and your family are here to listen to my<br />
story, to recall<br />
Earthy fall with crackling wind<br />
you closed your eyes and I embrace your<br />
heart; reflect the spiritual legend<br />
This season of whirling, brightly colored in a<br />
monumental way<br />
Deciduous falls on your shoulder that may<br />
carry my weight<br />
Remember the way,<br />
Remember the weight.<br />
FireSmart is living with and<br />
managing potential wildfire<br />
hazards in your area and on<br />
your property. Becoming wildfire<br />
resilient is a shared responsibility<br />
across BC extending from<br />
individuals living in their homes, up<br />
to a landscape land management<br />
level. WLFN currently has two<br />
FireSmart Coordinators working<br />
to develop a plan which will<br />
better prepare the community in<br />
the event of a wildfire. They are<br />
focusing on building long term<br />
plans for reducing the possible<br />
impact of wildfire to both critical<br />
infrastructure and homes within<br />
the community.<br />
The FireSmart program provides<br />
people living in wildfire prone<br />
areas with the knowledge<br />
and organizational means<br />
to significantly reduce their<br />
neighbourhood’s vulnerability<br />
planning and working together –<br />
with the support of a local wildfire<br />
professional. If you are concerned<br />
about the wildfire hazard in your<br />
area - there’s a good chance<br />
your neighbours feel the same<br />
way. The goal is to assist you and<br />
your neighbours to develop an<br />
action plan to reduce your wildfire<br />
hazard simply and effectively.<br />
The program relies heavily on<br />
community involvement in order<br />
to be successful! If you or someone<br />
you know is interested in better<br />
preparing your community to<br />
withstand the effects of a wildfire,<br />
please reach out to either of our<br />
local FireSmart coordinators.<br />
