Campfire Ban Lifted

The District of Sooke will be lifting the campfire prohibition (category 1) to align with the Coastal Fire Centre’s direction starting tomorrow, Wednesday, September 27th at 12:00 pm.

We want to remind Sooke residents that the Backyard Burning season remains CLOSED until Wednesday, November 1st. Open burning (category 2 and 3), and the burning of garden and yard debris are not permitted in Sooke at this time.

Always keep your campfire small, ensure it has a fuel-free area around it (20 feet from property lines and structures), never leave it unattended, have a water source present and ensure it is fully out (cool to the touch) before leaving the area.
