Norman Wells — August 29, 2023
The fire ban in effect at the McKinnon Territorial Park in Norman Wells has been lifted.
NWT Parks reminds park users that campfires should only be lit in designated fire pits and must always be kept under control. Keep a bucket of water, sand and a shovel handy. Be sure to extinguish your fire before you go to sleep or when you leave the site. Remember that if your fire is too hot to touch, it is too hot to leave.
Fire bans are still in effect for parks across the Northwest Territories. Information about fire bans and territorial park closures can be found under alerts on the NWT Parks website.
You can also follow NWT Parks on twitter at @NWTParks or Facebook at fb.com/nwtparks for updates.
