Forest Fire Danger

Backyard burning of toxic materials, garbage, construction waste, demolition waste and garden refuse is NOT permitted in the District of Sechelt. This is a smoke release bylaw regulated by the District of Sechelt Bylaw Officer, not the Sechelt Fire Department. https://www.sechelt.ca/Live/Backyard-Burning

As an alternative, Salish Soils accepts yard waste free of charge.
