Backyard burning is allowed at this time. Please follow burning guidelines as posted below and make sure the venting index is fair or good.

Category 3 fires still require registration with forestry and must follow the required steps in the bylaws. This includes 2 days of a “good” ventilation index, proper fire break, tools and water at fire site, constant supervision, and prior inspection by a fire department chief officer. Registration number is 1-888-797-1717.
With new vehicles not coming with ashtrays anymore, cigarette butts continue to be a problem. Please dispose of them properly rather than throwing them out windows or dumping them on the ground. This is becoming a problem especially along road sides and at mailboxes.
The new “Get Notified” campaign is underway for Denman and Hornby residents. Go to the CVRD website and sign up for emergency notifications specific to our islands.
