Did you know that the City has two off-leash dog parks?
1. In the Horseshoe - on Eby Street, near the Howe Creek Trail, north of Parkside School.
2. In the Southside - on Haugland Avenue, next to the Elk ball fields.
Reminder that all other trails and parks are on-leash - except the off-leash dog area south of the powerlines on Ferry Island. And no dogs are permitted on sport fields at any time.
Thanks for complying and picking up after your dog too!

CATEGORY 2 FIRE BAN RESCINDED

Effective Thursday, July 30, at 12:00 noon, the Category 2 fire ban throughout the Northwest Fire Centre, which includes Coast Mountain Forest District, Skeena Stikine Forest District, and Nadina Forest District, has been lifted. The Category 3 ban remains in place until further notice. Current prohibitions also do not affect Category 1 (campfires) that are a half-metre high by half-metre wide or smaller.

According to the BC Wildfire Service, this season, the approach to Category 2 and 3 fire bans will be more responsive to current weather conditions rather than relying on blanket bans throughout the summer, regardless of fire danger indices. While this may result in more frequent changes, it reflects a more science-based and risk-informed approach.

The City of Terrace follows the direction of the Northwest Fire Region. For more information, please visit
