Due to the lack of precipitation, and dry and windy conditions, Saddle Hills County has upgraded the Fire Restriction to a FIRE BAN. This Fire Ban applies to all areas outside of the Forest Protection Area, including private land, crown land, and recreational areas.

A Fire Ban is also in place for the Grande Prairie Forest Protection Area.

As a result of higher temperatures and drying conditions, the Fire Danger Rating in Saddle Hills County has changed from HIGH to VERY HIGH.

As of May 1, 2025, the Fire Advisory in Saddle Hills County has been upgraded to a FIRE RESTRICTION.

Recently, Saddle Hills County changed how they provide assessment services, switching from in-house assessors to external assessor, Aaron Steblyk and his team at Compass Assessment Consultants Inc.

As part of this transition, some changes had to be made to the way in which assessment values were calculated for 2025, in order to align with provincial regulations and assessment best practices. This change will cause varying impacts on landowner’s property assessments.

May 4-10, 2025 is Emergency Preparedness Week! Emergency Preparedness Week is an annual, nationwide event to encourage Canadians to become better prepared for emergencies.
