Alberta has a tiered fire ban system to restrict activities that may cause wildfires in the Forest Protection Area of Alberta.

Fire advisories, restrictions and bans are temporary measures that can help reduce the number of human-caused wildfires. As the fire danger levels rise or fall, these restrictions are adjusted to reduce the likelihood of wildfires.

Learn more about active fire bans in your community by visiting www.albertafirebans.ca/

Getting out on the water is what summer is all about – but remember that lakes in Alberta are much colder than you think, especially in the mountains! Cold water can be deadly and water levels at many parks are high from the recent rain.

Remember:
🛟 Always wear a lifejacket, even if you are a great swimmer. Lifejackets keep you warm if you fall into the water.
🛟 Wear synthetic layers to keep you warm. Avoid cotton.
🛟 Do not overload your boat.
🛟 Avoid situations where you may fall overboard.
