Fire Permit Season Starts April 1st

Just a reminder that all outdoor fires, including campfires and incinerators, must have a Fire Permit from April 1 to Oct. 31.  Permits are available on-line at www.thetisislandfire.ca and follow the link on the left side to fill out a Fire Permit request.  Please remember that we are not monitoring the computer 24/7, so plan ahead and request your permit at least two days before you need it.  Also, permits may be available in person at the garbage/recycling site on Wednesdays and Saturdays if either James Alton or Andy Lamb are volunteering at the sorting table on those days when the recycling centre is open.  As ever, garbage, plastic, tarps, treated lumber may NOT be burned at any time.
