Background and Context
Open campfires are a core part of the outdoor experience for thousands of campers.Hours of
time is spent with friends and family sharing meals, enjoying social activities, and staying
warm while camping in provincial parks, private campgrounds, and in the backcountry.
Open burning…or burning outdoors…is allowed when the wildfire risk is low and can be a
useful tool when conducted responsibly.
At the same time, increasingly warmer temperatures and dry weather are creating ideal
conditions for wildfires in the province that destroy tens of thousands of acres of forest, as
well as homes, businesses, ranches, and other infrastructure annually.
