Small campfires are allowed but other burning prohibitions remain in place. Re-
sponding to unnecessary, human-caused wildfires could increase the risk of BC Wild-
fire Service staff being exposed to COVID-19 and potentially affect their response
capability at the height of the wildfire season. Prohibitions are in place for Cat. 2 open
fires, Cat. 3 open fires, Resource Management Open Fires and other activities (e.g.,
use of fireworks, sky lanterns, burning barrels and burning cages). In collaboration
with provincial public health partners, the Province has extended its own open burn-
ing restrictions for all High Smoke Sensitivity Zones in the province until June 15.
Plan ahead and stick to well-marked trails: Do not venture into the wilderness at
this time. If you must go outdoors, plan a day trip, stick close to home on well-marked
Authorized by - signature
trails, and make sure to pack the right provisions and clothing for the weather.
Conservation officers will be monitoring activity: Throughout the long weekend,
conservation officers will continue patrols. Help them stay safe and do their work by
sticking to the rules and report suspected violations to the 24/7 poachers and pollut-
ers hotline at 1 877 952-7277.
Hunger Pains They say you shouldn’t go grocery shopping when you’re hungry...
But I ran out of food a few days ago, and it’s just getting worse!
My teachers told me I’d never amount to much because I procrastinate so much.
I told them, “Just you wait!”
My boss just texted me: “Send me one of your funny jokes!” I texted him back: “I’m busy
working. I’ll send one later.” “That’s hilarious,” he said. “Send another one!”
