HALIFAX:<\/strong> Nova Scotia’s burn ban and the remaining restrictions on travel and activities in the woods were lifted as of 3 p.m. on June 13.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Now that all wildfires in Nova Scotia are under control, we’re comfortable lifting the province-wide burn ban and restrictions on entering the woods,” said Tory Rushton, Minister of Natural Resources and Renewables. “This does not mean we’re any less vigilant about fire safety. <\/p>\n\n\n\n “Everyone has a responsibility to prevent forest fires and keep their fellow Nova Scotians safe. That’s why we have the burn-safe map which tells Nova Scotians when they can and cannot burn.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n ADVERTISEMENT:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate banner=”71″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate banner=”34″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n The province-wide burn ban, announced May 29, was on top of restrictions that have been in place since March 15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Burning is still not allowed from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., but now it may be allowed after 2 p.m. depending on local conditions. People can check the burn-safe website after 2 p.m. to see if burning is permitted in their area. Everyone should also be aware of municipal bylaws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
