Effective at 12 p.m. PDT on Thursday, May 7, Category 1, Category 2, and Category 3 open fires are prohibited across the Coastal Fire Centre. The exception is the Haida Gwaii Forest District, where Category 1 campfires are permitted.
These measures are being taken to reduce the risk of human-caused wildfires associated with open burning activities.
This prohibition will remain in place until October 31, 2026, or until it is rescinded.
Always check with your local government before burning, as they may have their own prohibitions in place.
