Fires put Canada Day plans on hold for lake goers
Fires in the northern part of the province are wreaking havoc on holiday plans and may put Canada Day fun on hold.
Bob Wilson, acting director of northern park operations with the ministry of parks, culture and sport, said there is an inverse relationship between fires and parks.
“While there’s great lake and beach weather, and a lot of people desire that, it’s not exactly what the Wildfire Management branch is looking for over the next week and particularly this Canada Day long weekend,” he said.
Wilson said they continue to support Wildfire Management in the fire ban in the northern provincial forests. Information about which specific parks are affected is available here.
