"Wildfires are no longer a once-a-year emergency in Canada. In 2025, fires burned more than 8.3 million hectares across multiple provinces (roughly the size of New Brunswick), making it the second-worst wildfire season in the country. Some experts warn this could become the new normal. At The Walrus Talks Wildfires, expert voices from the health, climate, policy, and technology sectors come together to explore the impact of the wildfire crisis."
"With smoke and other side-effects now crossing provincial and national borders, Canadians are asking not whether this will continue, but how we respond. Live in Saskatoon and streamed online, this event is an opportunity to hear from leading experts, engage with the latest research and perspectives, and explore promising solutions that can shape Canada's response. Join us at The Walrus Talks Wildfires to be informed, engaged, and part of the conversation."

Wildfires are becoming more frequent and could become the new normal. Fires and smoke affect public health, air quality, and the economy, complicate rebuilding after catastrophic loss, and disproportionately affect Indigenous nations. Smoke and other side-effects now cross provincial and national borders. An event in Saskatoon and online brings experts from health, climate, policy, and technology to present research, discuss impacts, and explore solutions. Registration details, accessibility supports, and ticket prices are provided.
