Clarington Repeals Open-Air Burning By-law

The General Government Committee of Clarington has repealed By-law 2012-062, which regulated open-air burning. This decision was made during the committee meeting on January 13, 2025.

The repeal was passed with a recorded vote of five in favor and two against. This change permits residents to conduct recreational fires and open-air burning without the previous restrictions.

Residents are advised to continue practicing safe fire management to prevent hazards. The repeal does not eliminate the need for caution and responsibility when engaging in open-air burning activities.

The decision reflects the committee's response to community feedback and current fire safety assessments. Residents should stay informed about any further updates or guidelines from local authorities regarding fire safety.
