Campfire ban in effect province-wide starting Friday

Compared to the destructive 2023 wildfire season, we’ve seen cooler, wetter conditions this spring that have led to a slower start to wildfire season. In total, 2023 saw 2,245 wildfires with 72 per cent natural caused and 25 per cent human caused. So far in 2024 we’ve seen a total of 101 wildfires of which 69 per cent were natural caused and 10 per cent human caused.
