Effective at noon on Wednesday, Aug. 23, 2017, campfires will once again be allowed in some areas of the Northwest Fire Centre: the Skeena Stikine Forest District (the Cassiar Fire Zone and Bulkley Fire Zone) and the Coast Mountain Forest District (the Skeena Fire Zone).
The combination of precipitation and a return to cooler, seasonal temperatures in northern and coastal portions of the Northwest Fire Centre has reduced the fire danger rating in most of these areas to "low" or "moderate".However, some parts of the Northwest Fire Centre remain dry and the wildfire risk in these areas is still high, so the campfire prohibition will remain in effect within the Nadina Forest District (the Nadina Fire Zone).

The District of Stewart is a member of the Regional District Solid Waste Management Plan. This Plan is a new approach that will help make waste management safer and more cost efficient by sharing resources. All communities will contribute to the plan based on their population. This means that Stewart’s taxpayers will contribute approximately 7% of the cost.
You will be receiving an informational flyer in your mailbox that provides more information. We encourage you to read the flyer and be informed about the changes that will be taking place with the closure of our landfill and the construction of a transfer station.
Community meetings will be arranged in the coming months so that you can provide your input into this process.
If you have questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me.
