To protect our community from the heightened risk of wildfires, the District of Lakeland has updated its Fire Restriction Bylaw to include a ban on all off-road vehicle use—including ATVs, dirt bikes, and side-by-sides—during periods of active fire bans.
This temporary measure applies to:
-
Public lands and designated trails
-
Forested and grassland areas under fire restrictions
-
Recreational and industrial use unless officially exempted
The ban is effective immediately and remains in place until fire bans are lifted. These precautions are essential to reduce human-caused wildfires and support emergency responders.
Stay informed via www.lakeland521.ca and our Facebook page. If you see any signs of wildfire, report them to local authorities without delay.
