Wildfires north of Whistler and Pemberton have burned at least three homes and several outbuildings, according to the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District. Pictured is Gun Lake.

The Gun Lake Ratepayers Association (GLRA) is a non-profit society whose main purpose is to promote, encourage and engage in the conservation, preservation, enhancement and stewardship of the Gun Lake Watershed on behalf of its area residents, registered landowners and recreational users.

We would like to recognize the following people and businesses for their generous contribution to support the Gun Lake Fire Protection Society and its volunteers in their tireless efforts working on the Downton Lake wildfire. A HUGE thank you to: Whistler Blackcomb; Creekside Market; Nesters Market; Slope Slide Supply Ltd.; Jared Bunko; the Akehurst Family; and the Kazimirski Family.

And special thanks to Lindsay Coleman and Mark Roehlig at the Valley General Store in Gold Bridge for staging all the food and drinks donated.
