The Ministry of Environment, in consultation with the Ministry of Parks, Culture and Sport, has lifted the ban on all open fires that was put into effect for much of northern Saskatchewan on May 22, 2015.
Recent rainfall and cooler temperatures have reduced wildfire hazards. The improved conditions, along with reduced wildfire activity, have made it possible for the ministry to lift the ban.
Effective immediately, the fire ban is rescinded for all provincial forests, and for all provincial parks and recreation sites located within these forests. These include the Canwood, Fort a la Corne, Nisbet, Northern, Porcupine and Torch River provincial forests, and Candle Lake, Great Blue Heron, Lac La Ronge, Meadow Lake, Makwa Lake and Narrow Hills provincial parks, and Bronson Forest and Chitek Lake recreation sites.
