Burn Ban Lifted for South Bruce Peninsula

The Town of South Bruce Peninsula has lifted their ban on open burning.

Residents and visitors are reminded to be extremely cautious when burning or having a fire as surrounding vegetation and foliage are still very dry and can ignite.

A total burn ban was issued on August 13th (2016) due to the extremely hot and dry conditions in the region during the months of June, July and into August.

A reminder that fireworks are not permitted unless on Victoria Day, Canada Day or Independence Day OR unless a permit is issued to do so.

More information regarding burning and (limited) use of fireworks can be found within the appropriate By-Laws at www.southbrucepeninsula.com
