Burning Permits
Burning permits are free of charge and any ratepayer wishing to have a “controlled burn” within the R.M. boundaries must obtain a burning permit from the R.M. office (signature will be required). Note: If permission for a controlled burn was not obtained and the fire is reported by a concerned citizen you will assume all costs incurred for the fire callout. Burn permit season is from April 1—October 31 of each year (keep in mind there is a burning permit area within 4.5 km of the Bronson Provincial Forest that requires you to ALSO contact the Department of Environment & Resource Management.)
Required for controlled burns between the dates of April 1 to October 31 inclusive.
