Released on May 22, 2012
The Ministry of Environment will be hosting a series of open meetings seeking public input on proposed new legislation called "The Wildfire Act" to replace The Prairie and Forest Fires Act, 1982, one of the oldest pieces of fire legislation in Canada, which has not kept pace with current wildfire practices.
The new legislation promotes the government goals of sustainable economic growth and ensuring public safety in the following areas:
The ministry began consultations within government in March 2012 and is now embarking on extensive public consultation meetings during the months of May and June with stakeholders, First Nations and Métis people, industry, municipalities, communities and the public in general.
"The Ministry of Environment is moving forward to address long-needed changes to the current legislation," Environment Minister Dustin Duncan said. "I encourage the public and stakeholders to actively participate in the review process and work with the province to develop new and modernized legislation."
Public meeting are not being scheduled during peak wildfire season. Consultations with northern communities will resume in September.
Discussion papers highlighting key changes within the Act and information on the Provincial Wildfire program are available on the Ministry of Environments website at www.environment.gov.sk.ca.
Comments and questions can be directed to Del Phillips at del.phillips@gov.sk.ca or 306-953-3473.
