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.

International Day of Women and Girls in Science

Yesterday, February 11, 2024 marked the International Day for Women and Girls in Science! On this day we recognize the contributions of women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, and celebrate the progress women have made in these traditionally male dominated fields.

Women working in these fields help to make the extraordinary possible, solving real-world problems and making meaningful impacts in our everyday lives. When young girls see women excelling in these careers it reminds them that their own dream are also possible.

“Tomorrow's workforce will need a diversity of skills, experience and leadership, qualities that women in Alberta have in abundance.”

- Rajan Sawhney, Minister of Advanced Education

We would like to take a moment to recognize the contributions of all women in STEM, especially those in Saddle Hills County, including our own Agricultural Services and Water Treatment Plant staff. We appreciate all you do, your incredible talent, and the role you play in inspiring our young women to pursue their own careers in STEM.
