The Saskatchewan government has lifted its ban on open fires in most provincial parks, a week and a half after it was imposed.

Recent rainfall in many areas prompted the change, which applies to all Crown land south of the Churchill River, according to a note from the Minister of Environment Friday.

Campfire restrictions remain in place in some parks due to continuing dry conditions, however:

  • Saskatchewan Landing.
  • Pike Lake.
  • Blackstrap.
  • Great Blue Heron.
  • Candle Lake.
  • The Battlefords.
  • Narrow Hills.

The fire ban for Prince Albert National Park remains in place.
