It’s because of extremely dry conditions putting communities at a high risk for grass fires.
The fire ban will be in effect until further notice, meaning Canada Day firework plans may have to be changed.
RMs currently under fire bans include:
- Swift Current
- Lac Pelletier
- Riversdale
- Sask Landing
- Coulee
- Whiska Creek
- Webb
- Excelsior
- Lac Pelletier Regional Park
