As of May 15th (last Monday), no permits were being issued for yard waste fires on Thetis Island. Please report all daytime smoke column sightings to 9-1-1.
Campfire permits are still being issued for small (regulation size <18”) evening campfires. Do not light a campfire in windy conditions. Have a water source available and shovel etc. and always supervise the campfire; extinguish thoroughly.
This is also a good time to get out your CSA certified propane campfire appliance and check that the hose and fittings are in good working order. When a campfire ban goes into effect later this season, propane campfire appliances are normally still allowed and do not require a fire permit.
