Sandy Hook is Officially a FireSmart Community!

We’re proud to announce that Sandy Hook has been recognized as a FireSmart Community for 2024, and we are working towards the same status for 2025!

This recognition reflects the hard work of the Sandy Hook FireSmart Committee and all our amazing residents. But what does this mean?

FireSmart is a national program that helps communities reduce the risk of wildfires through preparedness and education. Being a recognized FireSmart neighbourhood means we’re doing our part to keep the Sunshine Coast and Sandy Hook safer.  

Bonus: Some residents may qualify for reduced home insurance rates—check with your provider or ask at the May 4th event.

Join us by participating in these two exciting events!
