Northern Village of Green Lake

Green Lake is a northern municipality with approximately 500 permanent residents. We are the third oldest settlement in the province of Saskatchewan. It is a village steeped in the rich history of the Metis and First Nations people and the fur-trade that founded our nation. We obtained status as a village in 1982 under provincial legislation designating Green Lake as an Urban Municipality governed under the Northern Municipalities Act. The first Mayor and Council were elected locally in 1983 to govern the village and surrounding agriculture land. Currently we provide water and sewer services, road maintenance, recreation facilities, playgrounds and a volunteer fire brigade for village residents.

Good Morning,

The store is open at the RV Park, noon to 8pm Thursday to Monday for now.

Raffle tickets for the lake lot are available at the village office. Proceeds to the Green Lake Fire Brigade

BE PREPARED DURING FIRE SEASON:
PLEASE NOTE THERE IS NO DANGER PRESENT
FOR GREEN LAKE AT THIS TIME THIS IS FOR
INFORMATION ONLY

It’s Wildfire Season: Be Prepared
Have things ready just in case!
List of Things to Take for Evacuation:
Easy-to-carry shoulder bag Comfort items (a toy for your child, cards, a book, etc.)
Prescriptions for at least five days Drinking water for each person for the trip (about one litre)
A change of clothing (plus a sweater or jacket) Healthy food snack for the trip (foods that won’t spoil)
Basic toiletry items (toothbrush, toothpaste) Small amount of cash, as well as your debit and credit card

Eyeglasses, Hearing Aids, CPAP Machine, etc. Items for infants (formula, baby food, diapers) for the trip
Photocopy of important documents (photo
identification, health card, Treaty card,
list of medication, insurance information,
list of emergency contacts)
List other things you want to remember to bring:
If planning to use your own vehicle for transportation during an evacuation:
€ Keep your vehicle fairly full of gas during the fire season.
€ Keep a roadside emergency kit in your vehicle (for example: booster cables, road markers, high visibility
vest, first aid kit, flashlight) and make sure your spare tire is in good condition.
€ Register with the evacuation registration centre, even if you don’t need transportation and are not needing to
stay at a shelter.
€ Take food for a healthy snack along with you for the road (select foods that won’t spoil).
€ Follow instructions on the safe routes and timing for departure.
€ Decide what to do with your pets, as shelters and many hotels will not allow pets. Perhaps identify in
advance pet-friendly hotels or pet boarding facilities (you’ll need to take your pet’s vaccination papers).
Other things to think about during forest fire season:
€ Keep your cellphone charged, and keep an extra flashlight and radio batteries on hand.
€ Keep some cash on hand.

€ Have a bag packed ready for evacuation if a forest fire threatens.

€ Have a box of non-perishable foods stored in a cupboard for emergency use (rough guideline – two days of
food for the number of people in your home).
€ Review family plan in case there is an evacuation – share each other’s cellphone numbers.
€ For each family member with chronic illnesses requiring special care: Ask your doctor or nurse for a letter
documenting your condition, your medications and health-care provider contact information, which could be
used to give to health-care providers at evacuation centres or clinics / hospitals in other communities.
In the event of an evacuation:
€ Plan for pets: Put a note on your door about your pets (number and type of pets, where they are and other
info, such as food or safety. Also include your cellphone number or another way to contact you).
€ Foods in refrigerator: If you have time, consider what foods in your refrigerator could be put in the freezer. ... See MoreSee Less

Subject: FIRE BAN IN PLACE FOR CROWN LAND, MOST PROVINCIAL PARKS SOUTH OF CHURCHILL RIVER

________________________________________

The Ministry of Environment has issued a ban on all open fires south of the Churchill River to the U.S. border effective immediately, due to dry conditions.

The ban applies to all provincial Crown land, burn notification areas, and provincial parks and recreation sites within the ban area. This includes Clearwater River and Lac La Ronge provincial parks, but excludes Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park, where fire hazards are lower. A complete listing of all affected provincial parks and recreation sites can be found at: www.tourismsaskatchewan.com/places-to-go/provincial-parks/fire-restrictions

Municipalities, regional and national parks may also ban open burning in their areas of responsibility. Fire ban information and a list of municipal fire bans is available at www.saskatchewan.ca/residents/environment-public-health-and-safety/wildfire-in-saskatchewan/fire-... Check with your local authority to find out if there are burning restrictions in place for your area or where you plan to travel.

No open fires or fireworks are permitted for the duration of the ban. Self-contained heating devices, pressurized stoves, gas barbecues, propane firepits, or charcoal briquettes used in an approved firebox will be permitted for cooking and heating purposes during the ban.

The fire ban is effective immediately and will stay in place until the Ministry of Environment rescinds the order. ... See MoreSee Less
