It’s Fire Prevention Week.
Replace those worn out smoke detector batteries.
Come join us for our open house Saturday October 12 from 10-2.
The ban for category 2 fires has been lifted.
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.
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 has begun for Denman and Hornby residents. Go to the CVRD website and sign up for emergency notifications specific to our islands.
