Fire advisory in place
In response to recent precipitation in many areas of the province, the fire ban in the Forest Protection Area has been revoked and a fire advisory has been put on in its place.
A fire advisory means Albertans in the Forest Protection Area can safely enjoy the use of a fire pit in their backyard, charcoal briquettes on a barbecue, or a safe campfire.
Permissible:
- safe wood campfires on public land, private land or in provincial campgrounds as long as they are inside an engineered campfire ring
- backyard fire pits
- charcoal briquette barbecues
- use of propane, natural gas or powered appliance
- catalytic or infrared-style heaters
- safe burning with a permit
- recreational off-highway vehicle use
Not permissible:
- burning (excluding campfires) without a permit
- unattended or unsafe campfires
Restrictions can be phased back in as necessary to address wildfire risk area-by-area, allowing Albertans the freedom to enjoy the outdoors as much as possible. We will re-evaluate daily.
We expect this fire advisory to reduce the number of human-caused wildfires in Alberta, while allowing Albertans to enjoy outdoor activities as much as possible.
UPDATED WORSHIP SERVICES
Our MLA Dan Williams posted on his Facebook Page May 11.
“I have been working hard to have the voices of my many constituents heard.
As part of Alberta’s relaunch strategy, new guidelines have been developed for places of worship. Gatherings of 50 people or one third of normal worship service attendance, which ever is smaller and ensures physical distancing can be maintained.
These guidelines allow Albertans to celebrate and practice their faith in these extraordinary times while respecting the need to protect our communities from the COVID-19 pandemic.”
