Special Event: Author John Vaillant speaks on ‘Fire Weather’

Join master storyteller John Vaillant for a compelling presentation on the risks we all face in this new century of fire - forests burning longer and with greater intensity than at any other time this planet has ever known.  Could a catastrophic fire threaten our community, and what plans and services are in place to help keep us safe?

In the two years since the publication of his award-winning book, acclaimed author and journalist John Vaillant has dedicated much of his time explaining the real and growing risk of climate change.  What he has been telling audiences around the world is that, however we prepare for conflagrations, the world burns differently now.

Representatives from the West Van Fire Department and North Shore Emergency Rescue will be available in the lobby to meet residents. Additionally, 32 Books and Gallery will host a book signing by John Valliant following his presentation.

Special thanks to our sole sponsor, The Friends of Cypress Provincial Park, who have ensured that this will be a free event. 

“All too timely…This book is both a real-life thriller and tells us why, as the climate changes and humans don’t, that it will happen again and again.” 

The New York Times

“Vaillant is an absolute master when it comes to gripping environmental storytelling.”
