We have received a few questions about whether a burn ban is currently in effect in Wainfleet.
For clarity, there was no burn ban in effect. However, Wainfleet’s Open Air Burning By-law does not permit open air burning when the Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) reaches levels that prohibit burning.
The good news is that the AQHI has decreased significantly over the weekend and has returned to a low-risk level. Open air burning is once again permitted, provided all requirements of the Open Air Burning By-law are followed.
Thank you to everyone who delayed their burning and remained patient and vigilant as we navigated the recent poor air quality conditions. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated!

Please continue to burn safely and responsibly.

🔥 Please Hold Off on Open Air Burning
If you were planning to burn this week, we’re asking you to please hold off until conditions improve. Our Open Air Burning By-law does not permit burning when air quality is poor.
With wildfire smoke already affecting our area, additional smoke from open air burning can make conditions even worse.
Let’s all do our part to keep the air we breathe as clean as possible under these conditions.
Thank you for your cooperation and for looking out for your neighbours and our community. 🔥🚫

There will be an Alert Ready system test today!

Ontario was scheduled to participate in the testing of the Alert Ready emergency alerting system on May 6, 2026 at 12:55 p.m. EDT. The date and time of the test would have coincided with the funeral proceedings for OPP Sergeant Brandon Malcolm. Out of respect to Sergeant Malcolm, his family and friends, the Ministry will postpone the Alert Ready testing to May 7, 2026 at 1:55 p.m. EDT.
