Although our municipal Open Air Burning By-law allows for campfires in wooded areas, we want to remind residents that this does not apply to the region's parks. By-Law P-600 clearly outlines that campfires are not allowed in municipal parks. 

Get outside and enjoy one of the municipality's many parks, trails, and gardens. From award-winning Victorian gardens to local community trails, there are hundreds of spaces to explore.
