The provincewide burn ban and the remaining restrictions on travel and activities in the woods were lifted as of 3 p.m. today, June 13.
The provincewide burn ban, announced May 29, was on top of restrictions that have been in place since March 15. Burning is still not allowed from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., but now it may be allowed after 2 p.m. depending on local conditions. People can check the burn safe website at https://novascotia.ca/burnsafe/ after 2 p.m., to see if burning is permitted in their area. Everyone should also be aware of municipal bylaws.
Even with the provincewide burn ban lifted, the fine for burning when not allowed is still $25,000.
