Unfortunately, due to the high fire index, we will have to cancel our fireworks for this evening's Canada Day celebrations.
We will have a movie at the hut this evening starting at 8 PM. Popcorn will be provided, but younger kids will need to be supervised by an adult.
We will have our cake cutting at 3:30 PM at the hut.
While the fire index is high, we are still permitted to have a campfire, provided we follow strict safety precautions
* The fire is lit with permission on a prepared site in a managed park with facilities to contain open fires. Fire suppression equipment must be available (for example, a campfire in a provincial or private park).
* The fire is lit on sand, gravel, rock, or mineral soil (such as a beach fire) and is no larger than 0.5 metres in width and height.
* The fire is set at least one metre from flammable material and three metres from overhanging branches.
* The fire is lit in a fully contained, non‑combustible outdoor fire pit, and:
* The unit completely contains the fire and is screened to prevent sparks.
* The unit rests on legs and sits on non‑combustible material (such as patio stone or gravel) covering at least 1.5 square metres.
* The unit is placed at least 3.5 metres from flammable material.
* Ashes are fully extinguished and disposed of on mineral soil at least 15 metres from wood, brush, or other flammable material.
* At least eight litres of water and a shovel are available.
* The fire is attended at all times.
