The recreation sector is primarily composed of private companies operating to serve the recreational interests of their customers. These enterprises are often located in remote locations and cater to clients who may be travelling far from home. These unique circumstances necessitate thorough planning and practice in order to protect the safety and security of people, infrastructure, and the environment in the event of an emergency.
Case Study
Sun Peaks Resort
Tabletop Exercise
During the summer of 2023, Ally partnered with Sun Peaks Resort to conduct a comprehensive two-day Table-top Exercise (TTX) centered around a wildfire scenario. The first day of the TTX concentrated on the tactical evacuation of Sun Peaks in response to an approaching interface wildfire. In the second day, the focus shifted to the return to Sun Peaks and the subsequent recovery efforts anticipated. The participation of key stakeholders was vital to the exercise’s success, allowing all involved parties to collaboratively prepare and coordinate ahead of the wildfire season.
Participating stakeholder groups included:
- Sun Peaks Municipality
- Sun Peaks Fire Rescue
- Tourism Sun Peaks
- Emergency Social Services
- Sun Peaks Grand Hotel
