Prescribed Burn – POSTPONED

UPDATE (Oct 6): Please note the prescribed burn scheduled for October 6 has been postponed due to weather. An update on a rescheduled date will be provided later this week.

The Provincial Capital Commission will be conducting a prescribed burn on Wascana Centre’s Pelican Island and north Goose Island this fall.

A prescribed burn is done to enhance the variety of preferred grassland and forest species, to boost wildlife populations and reduce the risk of wildfire through fuel reduction efforts.

The prescribed burn may be postponed if day-of weather conditions will not allow us to proceed safely. If the burn is rescheduled, information will be posted to wascana.ca.

For more information, visit our “Prescribed Burn” page here.
