Spring 2023 fires —Arson
At the time there was many reports of the wildfires being started intentionally.
There were also a few church arsons.
Did the RCMP ever lay charges in relation to the wildfires of last spring.
I remember police and fire authorities acknowledging that arson was a significant factor in the volume of major fires.
Were charges laid ?

Wildfires and churches burning, not much reported on arrests or convictions concerning either.

Exactly, the one attack by 20 armed individuals on the gaslink project injured security guards, did millions in damage, and no arrests.

Simple answer is that the media doesn't deem the causation of those news worthy. Doesn't fit their narrative.

There was at least a couple women and a man who were charged but that’s all I heard of.
A 28-year-old woman has been arrested after a series of fires were intentionally set along the Galloping Goose Trail in Sooke, B.C.
I couldn’t find the other article but there was a woman that was also caught lighting fires to increase the blueberries.
Quebec police have charged a 37-year-old man with arson in connection with what the CBC reports as “numerous forest fires that burned earlier this summer in the province’s north./

My neighbor saw a guy in his farm yard stealing gas so he approached him unarmed and got beat up and his truck stolen . Course this doesn't even make local newspaper

the blueberry lady was just north of Edmonton
28 or so fires started and she confirmed she did them and yet she plead guilty to only 4 and the judge said she was sentenced on all 28 (DONT know how that happens in alberta courts though). she got a slap on the wrist, a year probation? perhaps

Mac Dougall Church, an important historic and cultural building on the Stoney Nakoda reserve, burned down in 20 17, no arrests and community resistance to rebuilding it. It eventually was though.

It was drier than a popcorn fart in the bush an atv ban during that period was valid.
Anyone who has experienced a bad wildfire season could have seen the conditions last spring and knew there was going to be issues. I was honestly expecting just lightning and stupid people not being responsible not the intentional fires
Really the odds of allowing bear hunters to use ATVs would have given a higher odds of starting a fire vs actually catching someone starting one. Pretty easy to go unnoticed in the bush
