Most of the region remains under a burn ban as Ontario continues to
deal with extreme heat and a lack of rain throughout the entire
province.
The Township of Uxbridge is the latest Municipality to implement a
burn ban which means not only can you not obtain a new fire permit,
but if you are in possession of a fire permit, it is currently suspended
until further notice.
The township of Scugog has had a burn ban in effect since July 31st,
While the Township of Brock has said no to open flames for almost a
month.
The Township of Scugog is getting ready to celebrate young
