Activity and travel within the woods are off limits because continued hot, dry conditions have greatly increased the risk of wildfires.

People can still access beaches and parks, but trail systems are off limits. Camping is allowed in provincial park campgrounds. There is a province-wide ban on open fires which means campfires are prohibited until further notice. Gas stoves and barbeques can be used for cooking. Charcoal barbeques are permitted with charcoal briquettes only. Portable lanterns are permitted.
