Public Firewood Opportunities for the Weekend of May 23-24

With the drying and warming trend we've been experiencing, public firewood opportunities have been closed for the summer. This may change if we experience a significant change in our weather conditions over the next several months.

Please report any forest fires to the Province of BC at *5555 on your mobile phone.

Access through the Shawnigan (Glenora) gate is not available for the upcoming weekend due to quickly increasing forest fire risk.
