DO YOU REQUIRE A PERMIT?

All burning must comply with the Municipal Open Air Burning By-Law.

Fires greater than 1 metre x 1 metre require a fire permit during the period of April 1st to October 31st of each year. Permits are available at a cost of $10.00 for 2 weeks or $20 for 4 weeks. Please note that there is no burning before 6:00 pm or after 8:00 am. Adequate man power and safety equipment is required at the site to ensure the fire is contained at all times.  Day time burning is not permitted unless written authorization is provided from the Fire Chief.   

Camp fires under 1 metre x 1 metre do not require a permit, but all other rules for burning apply.
