Prescribed Burn

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 burn window for each site is one half day between September 29 and October 31, weather permitting. There will be notice posted to Wascana.ca when the burn date is finalized.
