Winnipeg, MB - The City of Winnipeg Public Works Department will be conducting controlled burns in various natural areas between May 26 and June 30, weather conditions permitting.
Controlled burns will be conducted in minimal wind conditions with appropriate fire guards in place.
Fire plays an important role in the preservation and restoration of our prairies. Lack of fire allows weeds to invade endangered plant communities. Controlled burns have been safely conducted by the Naturalist Services Branch in Winnipeg’s natural areas since 1986.
For more information, please contact 311, open 24 hours every day, by phone at 311 or by email at 311@winnipeg.ca.
