Safer Roads Ahead. — The Canyon Program

A FIRE-SEASON SPRINT · LAUNCH JUNE 25

Cover the Lytton canyon before the next fire does.

The Lytton / Fraser–Thompson Canyon is one of BC's most wildfire-exposed evacuation corridors — and it launches June 25. The The Canyon Program puts a fleet of Scout kits across the corridor now, plus drivers ready to capture fresh readings the moment an emergency hits. We've already put in the first kit. We need help covering the rest — fast.

$56,000

THE CANYON PROGRAM · THE RAISE

7 additional Scout kits + driver recruitment to blanket the corridor and keep readings fresh through peak season.

Plus $14,000 toward driver recruitment — drivers on call for fresh readings during active emergencies. Sponsors can put their support toward a kit or the drivers, whatever covers the region fastest.

INTELLIMASS: $6K + 1 KIT (DONATED) · 7 KITS × $6K = $42000 + DRIVERS $14,000 = $56,000 TO RAISE

Why now.

Every kit and driver added before the corridor heats up is coverage a community actually has when an order comes. We're racing the season, not the budget cycle — which is why we started before the grants landed.

HOW IT WORKS — NO NEW TRIPS, NO NEW STAFF

Community trucks, forestry vehicles and crews hitch-mount our units — plus optional, easy road-health video capture. They gather road-condition data on routine drives, and our AI turns it into clear road-health assessments for emergency coordinators. The roads people evacuate on, watched in real time.

Safer Roads Ahead. — Every Community in the The Canyon

THE GOAL: LEAVE NO COMMUNITY WITHOUT A WAY OUT

Support all of them.

        The The Canyon Program's goal is simple — road-health coverage for every
        community along the Lytton / Fraser–Thompson Canyon, so no one evacuates on a route no
        one has checked. This is the corridor we're racing to cover this fire season.
