qathet Regional District's provincial community wood smoke reduction program will be offered in 2025 with rebates available on a first-come, first-served basis.

During the past six years, qRD has been selected to participate in the provincial community wood smoke reduction program. The program encourages the replacement of old, smoky wood stoves for cleaner heating options through financial incentives. This program serves as a clean air initiative for the region. 

Since 2019, the region has provided rebates for a total of 155 wood stove removals and replacements, according to a staff report, presented at the March 11 regional board meeting.
