After a few days of wetter and cooler weather, the District of Squamish has lifted its municipal campfire ban.
The order is effective as of noon on April 28.
“A combination of recent wet weather and the current forecasted conditions has prompted the lift of the ban,” reads a District news release.
However, fires that are lit within municipal bounds are still subject to regulations.
The District says a permit is required for all backyard campfires, which must be supervised by an adult and no greater than 0.5 metres in height or diameter.
Permits are being issued online only at this time. Permits are valid for the duration that one lives at the registered property. Annual renewal is no longer required.
