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.

Drought Resilience Perspective Webinar

On June 20, 2023 at 7:30 p.m., the Alberta Forage Industry Network (AFIN) is hosting a zoom webinar event to talk about managing your mental health during drought conditions.  

"Join us for a chat about the current drought situation in Alberta and the mental health impacts it can have on those facing difficult decisions and stresses. Program Director Linda Hunt from AGKNOW will join us to discuss strategies for cow calf operations to deal with potential drought, including coping with the mental stresses that can arise. We'll explore solutions for challenges such as selling off part of a herd, purchasing expensive feed, and managing short and long term financial stress caused by drought.

This webinar is free to attend and will be posted on our website, YouTube and Podcast platforms after for you to listen to and share." - AFIN Website

The webinar is free to attend and you can register online here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZclf-murj0qGNBL3GKtKzAPj3LC_0Gx5N6G#/registration
