As of Friday June 15, 2025 the fire restrictions have been lifted for the Upsala area.
Please be aware that as the warm weather continues, the fire hazard level in our area is still considered “high”. So use caution and common sense when burning.
Thanks and Enjoy your weekend!

Hey everyone, if you haven’t heard already, this year’s Upsala Parade of Lights has been set for December 21st! The floats will meet at the Fire Hall about 5:30pm and the parade will start at 6pm.
Due to some logistical difficulties we are trying a new route for the parade this year. It will start at the Fire Hall and head down North road to Tilford Crescent (by the Cemetery). The vehicles will drive around the loop, and head back to the Fire hall. The parade will end at the Fire hall and everyone is then invited to the Community hall where there will be snacks and drinks etc.
In the spirit of the season, the last few years the Upsala Fire Department has promoted a food drive to collect food to give to one of the food banks in Thunderbay. This year we would like to continue that by encouraging our generous community to donate food that we can deliver to a food bank. If you are interested in being part of this mission to help feed those in need, you can either bring your donations to the community hall right after the parade, or you can drop your donations off with Sabrina at the General Store in the days leading up to the parade.
So mark it on your Calendars! Come out and enjoy a fun evening with your neighbours!! Put a float into our little parade, or cheer on those who put time and effort into making one. Can’t wait to see you all there!
