It is imperative that rural property owners in interface fire zones have the knowledge and tools to effectively FireSmart their property. We need local government to make it easier, not harder to make necessary changes like removing trees that are dead, spacing trees, removing trees from zone# 1. We have concerns about a new proposed tree management By-law that would discourage residents from protecting their homes due to costs like tree removal permits and arborist reports. We will be digging deeper into this because rural residents should be incentivized not penalized. In the meantime please take the public input survey here: https://engage.mission.ca/tree-management-bylaw

See you at 10!!!! 32972-cardinal st

ICYMI: Starting September 14 TFL#26 will be carrying out forestry operations in the Bear Mt area. For your safety, no entry is permitted due to road constructi...on, blasting and tree falling activities. This will be taking place 7 days a week until complete. Trails will be reopened upon completion of harvesting and reforestation will occur in spring of 2021.

The Forest Fire Danger Rating is at HIGH and is expected to remain so throughout the weekend. Campfires are only allowed in approved fire rings, such as those f...ound in provincial campsites, as per District Bylaw 2975-1996. Campfires not meeting the bylaw will be put out. The Fire Department will be conducting regular patrols in the Stave West area, and will be extinguishing campfires not meeting the by-law. A full campfire ban of the area is not planned at this time, but may be put in force soon, if the weather remains dry and hot.
