Thank you for your cooperation as we work to make Cypress Hills Provincial Park a safer place for everyone.
What to Expect:
Residents and visitors may observe heavy equipment operating within the park. There will be increased noise levels during this period, and temporary closures of certain areas may be necessary for safety. We appreciate your patience and understanding as these essential projects are completed.
Why FireSmart?
The FireSmart program is a national initiative designed to help communities reduce the risk of wildfire damage. By strategically removing vegetation and creating fuel breaks, we can enhance the safety of residents, visitors, and the natural ecosystem of Cypress Hills Provincial Park.
