HISTORICAL TRIVIALITIES
Mission Tree Farm Initiative, 1974

In 1974, yellow cedar was classified as a shrub, and reliable data on it was scarce. So, Mission’s Municipal Forest stepped in to change that.

Tree Farm Manager Rocky Rockwell and Foreman Smokie Murdoch launched a unique research project to unlock the ideal way to grow yellow cedar for high yields.

Captured here…they review a miniature forest of 10,000 seedlings—proudly claimed by them as the world’s largest collection at the time!

Fire ban lifted Sept 3rd at Noon !

Effective Thursday, September 3, 2026 at noon the fire ban within the City of Mission will be lifted.

Before using your recreational fire pit, please remember to check that the daily ventilation category is “GOOD” by visiting https://dom.burnpermits.com/ or by calling
1-844-904-0766.

Fire pit use is ONLY permitted on “GOOD” vent index days.

A reminder that your recreational fire permit allows you to burn only clean, dry, untreated firewood in a fire pit for personal enjoyment or warmth, essentially a campfire. An adult must be in attendance at all times. Only one fire pit is allowed per property.

Those living in non-municipal garbage collection areas may burn yard debris from October 1 to March 31. A permit is not required, however, the following restrictions apply:

The pile of yard debris to be burned must not exceed 1m in diameter and 1m in height. Please overturn long-standing piles to ensure that wintering critters have opportunity to escape. Only one pile is permitted at a time. A ventilation category of "Good" must be present on the day of burning. Burning cannot begin until one hour after sunrise and must end by 4 p.m. or two hours before sunset, whichever is later. An adult person must be in attendance at all times. Please refer to Bylaw 5962-2020 for full details.

The City of Mission will consider allowing yard clean up in non-municipal garbage collection areas to exceed the current bylaw restrictions if it is performed as part of a FireSmart initiative. For more information contact our FireSmart Coordinator at [email protected].

Land clearing is strictly prohibited in all areas of the City of Mission. Burning of garbage and construction materials/debris is also prohibited.

For more information, please contact Mission Fire Rescue Service at 604-820-3793 or visit our website at https://dom.burnpermits.com/.

ORV ban rescinded

Effective tomorrow, Friday August 28, at noon PDT the Off Road Vehicle (ORV) prohibition is rescinded in the Southeast, Cariboo, Coastal and Kamloops Fire Centres.

We recognize that ORVs play an important role in recreation, hunting and accessing the outdoors for many. Restrictions are only considered when multiple factors indicate an elevated wildfire risk, heightened wildfire activity and limited capacity to respond to new fire starts.

With improving conditions in some regions of B.C., and cooler wetter weather in the forecast we are now able to rescind these prohibitions. We continue to monitor wildfire risk and prohibitions may be implemented or rescinded as conditions change.

We appreciate the patience and cooperation shown by ORV users during this period. We know many riders take fire prevention seriously and recreate responsibly on established roads and trails. If you're returning to the backcountry, we ask for your support in reporting any new wildfires through our app or by calling *5555.
