With the May Long Weekend upon us, and summer just around the corner, the Township of Muskoka Lakes is reminding residents and visitors that, due to drying conditions in the area, the Muskoka Association of Fire Chiefs have raised the fire danger rating to HIGH, meaning extreme caution must be taken with all open flames. At this time, no daytime burning is allowed, and no burn permits will be sold.
The Township has also updated the Fireworks By-law, and Fireworks are only permitted between dusk and 11:00 p.m. on Victoria Day, Canada Day and New Years holidays.
The municipality says that given the Fire Danger Rating, those lighting fireworks should exercise caution.
