Burning Permit

In our municipality, we are fortunate to have many agricultural lands, forests, beautiful maple groves, and it is our duty to protect these areas and properties.

Did you know that it only takes a few sunny days, a bit of wind, and a split second to lose control of a fire?

Issuing burning permits allows us to stay vigilant and follow SOPFEU recommendations, and inform our Fire Department of any related activities.

The permit is valid for 5 days and allows you to burn leaves and branches.

Additionally, it provides liability protection in case of an incident, provided there is no negligence on your part, of course. Conversely, not having a permit can be costly if a loss of control results in damages, with the minimum regulatory fine set at $500.

Note that only campfires lit in a specifically designed fire pit do not require a permit.
