The Southeast Fire Centre will be conducting a habitat enhancement burn on the unceded and traditional territory of the Ktunaxa Nation, Ktunaxa ʔamakʔis, and ʔakanuxunik’ ʔamakʔis, Tobacco Plains Indian Band traditional territory, approximately four kilometres southeast of the community of Grasmere.

This burn could begin as early as Saturday, April 13.

Burning will proceed if conditions are suitable to achieve objectives and allow for smoke dispersal, though smoke may linger in the following days, particularly the morning after burn operations.
