The City is implementing an additional ban, effective immediately, over and above the Kamloops Fire Centre ban. In addition to the ban on campfires and open burning, propane fireplaces and all cooking in public parks and trails within the City of Enderby and the Shuswap River Fire Protection District is now prohibited. Within the City, this includes the Riverwalk, Tuey Park, Barnes Park, Belvedere Park, and Riverside Park. Propane fireplaces are prohibited in all public spaces including campgrounds. Propane barbeques solely for cooking purposes will be allowed in a campground or designated reception/evacuation area, provided their use is safe and minimal.
