Effective 4 PM today we're telling Nova Scotia stay out of the woods. We are restricting, travel, and activities that really aren't necessary for most of us hiking camping fishing, and the use of vehicles in the woods are not permitted trail. Systems through woods are off-limits camping is allowed but only an official campgrounds. The fine for violating any of these bands is the same as the fine for the band I'm earning $25,000 and if you're a smoker for God sake, be mindful of where you're budding your butt out if you don't and you and you cause a fire we will hold you accountable so what does this mean? If you have a home or cottage surrounded by Wood area we strongly encourage you to stay out of those woods, regardless of where they are. Please don't do anything I could unnecessarily put you your family or your neighbours at risk this situation sucks summer is one of the best times in Nova Scotia and we all look forward to getting outdoors and enjoying our scenic beauty that surrounds us I get that and I'm right there with you in Nova Scotia but you can still go to the beach in fact that's a great place to be on these hot dry days just no bonfires if there's a short trail to get from point a to point B like from the parking to the beach or to the lake to fish that's fine but that's it. No heading into the woods to spend time there. I know it's inconvenient. I know it's the height of summer vacation and people want to do all the activities that we so much enjoying our great outdoor outdoors. We have a beautiful province. I know everybody wants to enjoy it, but we have to stay out of the woods. It's a small price to pay right now to avoid the kind of devastation that we saw from the wildfires in 2023. Nobody wants to go back there
