Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit?

If you want to have an open air fire (brush or agricultural), you need an approved permit. Campfires (60 cm diameter x 60 cm height) and fires that are contained in a manufactured, non-combustible container (no larger than 1m x 1m x 1m), burning clean, dry wood for cooking, heating and enjoyment do not require a fire permit. These fires are permitted in the Rural and Urban Settlement Areas and are exempt from issued burn bans; however, they are still subject to certain terms and conditions which are contained in the Open Air Burn Bylaw.

How can I obtain a burn permit?

You may register online using this website, visit or call the Township office at 613-774-2105.
