Fire Restriction in Effect

Effective as of 3:30 p.m. on May 17, 2024, Saddle Hills County has downgraded the FIRE BAN to a FIRE RESTRICTION, which means campfires and other small fires will be allowed in approved fire pits, burn barrels, and enclosures. This only applies to areas outside of the Forest Protection Area.

The FIRE BAN by Alberta Forestry for the Grande Prairie Forest Protection Area remains in place over the long weekend. This means campfires are not allowed in the Forest Protection Area, which includes Cotillion, Hilltop, and Spring Lake Campgrounds. www.albertafirebans.ca

Alberta Parks is also maintaining their FIRE BAN over the weekend, so campfires will not be permitted at Moonshine Lake Provincial Park and Dunvegan Provincial Park. www.albertaparks.ca/albertaparksca/advisories-public-safety/fire-bans

There is no ATV ban at this time.

A Message From The Reeve, Happy Holidays

Image of child with horse and Reeve Alvin Hubert

At this special time of year, it is important that we focus on our true blessings – our family, friends, neighbours, and communities.

During these times marked by fear, divisiveness, and uncertainty, let us focus on what brings us together and what makes Saddle Hills County, our community, and our way of life so special: kindness, love, unity, hope, and fellowship with one another. Let’s look upon this holiday season as a chance to come together, strengthen our bonds, and protect the things that make our community great. On behalf of the Council and staff of Saddle Hills County, I would like to extend our best wishes to all and our sincere hopes for a happy, safe, prosperous year ahead.
