The Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency (SPSA) has lifted the provincial fire ban, including ATVs and UTVs, as of 11 a.m. on Wednesday, June 3, 2026, due to improved conditions.
The fire ban prohibited any open fires, controlled burns and fireworks in the District (a single incorporated municipality within the NSAD), including, but not limited to, resort subdivisions, northern settlements and titled and leased properties within the fire ban area are included. The fire ban area also included all Crown land, Provincial parks and recreational sites.
The public is reminded that provincial parks, municipalities and R.M.s may still have their own local fire ban, restriction or advisory in place. A list of fire restrictions in provincial parks and recreation sites can be found on the SaskParks website and the SPSA interactive fire ban map.
Municipalities and provincial parks should continue to monitor local conditions and implement fire bans or burning restrictions as required.
Anyone who spots a wildfire can call 1-800-667-9660, dial 9-1-1 or contact their closest SPSA Forest Protection Area office.
