Fire Restriction in Effect

Due to the increasingly dry conditions, the FIRE ADVISORY has been upgraded to a FIRE RESTRICTION, for Saddle Hills County. 

Prohibited

Open campfires in back country or random areas, fireworks and exploding targets on crown land, brush and debris burning for non-agricultural purposes, controlled burns of brush piles greater than 2 cubic meters in size

Allowed with Caution

Campfires in non-combustible, manufactured firepits, charcoal briquettes in approved barbeques, portable propane firepits, gas or propane stoves and barbeques, catalytic or infrared style heaters, wood fires in an enclosed facility or device, which has a chimney with a spark arrestor, burning barrels that are a minimum distance of 30 m away from structures and 6 m away from combustible materials.

 

Hand-piled agricultural brush and debris burning that is less than 2 cubic meters in size is allowed, if it is in a cultivated field or another fire guard is in place, a Fire Suppression Plan is in place, and Municipal Notification Requirements have been met

Boards and Committees

Council creates internal Boards and Committees related to specific issues affecting the community. These dedicated groups, comprised of appointed Councillors and members of the community, research and provide insight on current problems and help to develop solutions, passing their recommendations to Council for review.

Council also appoints Councillors to sit on a variety of external Boards and Committees, such as with partner organizations and neighbouring municipalities, to gather knowledge and provide insight on issues affecting Saddle Hills County. 

If you are interested in learning more about each of the internal Boards and Committees at Saddle Hills County, please review our Reference Summary for Boards and Committees. 

Each Councillor and Member-at-Large sits on their Board or Committee for a set term, the shortest being 1-year. Every year, we recruit for community members to sit as Members-at-Large on the Boards where members terms are coming to an end. If you are interested in getting involved, please complete an Application for Member-at-Large Position. The dates for submissions will be advertised each year in advance of the deadline, on our website, social media, and in local media. 

Should you have any other questions about our Boards and Committees or would like to speak to someone directly, please get in touch at (780) 864-3760 or email admin@saddlehills.ab.ca
