Backyard burning under the Wildfire Act is known as a Category 2 open fire. Category 2 open fires burn waste material in one pile not exceeding 2m in height and 3m in width.
Before planning a backyard burn, consider alternate forms of disposal such as recycling, composting, chipping, or burying the material. Some communities have established recycling programs for cardboard, paper and other debris, while others have community composting locations.
In order to protect the air around our neighbourhoods and province, fire should only be used when all other options have been exhausted. It is also important to note that the burn can only be conducted when the venting, the air’s ability to dissipate smoke, is good and forecast to be good for the duration of the burn.
If you live within a municipality or regional district, please check with your local authorities before lighting a fire.
