Keep an eye on fire bans as long weekend, fireworks approaches

We’ll be keeping an eye on the burn bans in our communities across our listening area as the long-weekend approaches.

Some have been lifted, but others like the total burn ban in Rideau Lakes is still in effect.

If it and others in the region hold, then fireworks to mark Canada’s birthday would also be grounded for the long-weekend.

Please check with your town hall before doing any burning.

Some have lifted their bans entirely, but others still have partial bans in place which in most cases means no fireworks.
