All fire stations are currently closed to the public. Residents can only apply for an open air burning permit online.
Burning is not allowed without a permit. Wood-fuelled recreational campfires and fire pits are not allowed. Wood-fuelled burning appliances such as chimineas, fire bowls, and burn barrels are also not permitted. Natural-gas- or propane-fuelled fire pits are allowed and do not require a burn permit.
Our Open Air Burning By-law prohibits open air burning, including the use of wood fuelled chimineas and fire pits, in areas designated "urban" or "hamlet residential."

We issue three types of permits:
