We are planning a workshop in every region during this fire season. We have had one that was conducted in North Slave already, and that may be the one Member we spoke of. We have had two conducted in South Slave already so far this year. We are planning a FireSmart representative workshop this fall, so that all the regions will be able to conduct their own workshops in the future. We continue to work with individual value-at-risk owners in communities to protect their values at risk from lowland fire. We also have identified four communities that could be at extreme risk this coming fire season, so we are working with those communities to see if there are opportunities for us to assist them or do some fire smarting breaks with them, which will have another impact on providing some work to some local people. We are working with those four communities and we will work with them to see what we can do to help them with the fire breaks and the fire smarting around their communities.
