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.

Free Oats for Saddle Hills County Ratepayers!

"Studies say the Peace Region grows the best oats in Canada, so what better way to promote that than by giving out free samples."

The Peace Region Economic Development Alliance (PREDA) has partnered up with Prairie Oats Growers Association to raise awareness of the value of oats, distributing over 7,500 bags of oats, courtesy of Save on Foods, to 27 municipalities throughout the Peace Region.

Saddle Hills County ratepayers can grab their free oats from the County Administration Building, while supplies last!

For more information, please call our office at (780) 864-3760.
