The Coastal Fire Center has rescinded the open burning prohibition effective at noon Friday, September 25th. This means that campfires, category 2 fires and category three fires (with permit) are all allowed.
Our local fire danger rating has been lowered to moderate, effective Tuesday September 15th. The 1:00pm shutdown of high risk activities will be rescinded starting Thursday September 17th. When at a moderate fire danger rating, and after the 1:00 shutdown has been rescinded, a one hour fire watch is required after completing high risk activities.

I've fallen behind in posting these. I have no idea if nobody reads them, somebody reads them, or everybody reads them. There is some interesting and useful information in them.
I'm looking for 40 feet of 1+1/2" (40mm) white PVC pipe. Anyone have some laying around before I go off island? timpeterson24 [at] yahoo [dot] com or 250-607-7094
With the recent downpour our fire danger rating has been lowered to moderate. Morning shift (1:00pm shutdown of high risk activities) will continue until at least Saturday. If we remain at moderate until Saturday, early shift will be rescinded.
I will keep the email list and Fire Safety page updated.
I do not know Scottie Bay well. My son, Isaac, has anchored his sailboat there this winter, and maybe for longer. I am trying to make a fair and reasonable decision, as one of the three trustees that make up the Lasqueti Trust Commiittee, on the future uses of Scottie Bay.
