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.

Farm Safety Week - Keeping Children Safe on the Family Farm

Growing up on or visiting a family farm is an incredible experience for kids.

However, as generational farmers you all know that there are numerous hazards and risks associated with farming life, so teaching your children safe farm practices from a young age is top priority.

Taking the time to teach all children who live on or visit the farm age appropriate tasks, establishing boundaries, and providing supervision will keep them safe and set them up for success as future farmers.

Lead by example by modelling safe practices and building traditions that involve safety. These steps will help keep kids safe on your farm and make safety part of your lasting legacy.

This Canadian Agricultural Safety Week, celebrate Your Farm, Your Family, Your Success.
