    EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY!! TOTAL FIRE BAN for the Municipality of the Town of Bancroft

    There shall be NO open air fires or burning of any kind during a Total Fire Ban, including but not limited to:

    • Campfires
    • Burn Barrels
    • Wood or Charcoal burning BBQ’s or outdoor stoves.
    • Use of Fireworks and Flying Lanterns

    CSA approved gas cooking appliances may be used for cooking at this time.

    This Ban will be fully enforced, and any person found violating this ban could face any and all applicable fines and/or charges. Any person deemed liable for a fire incident during this ban will face any and all costs incurred as a result of the fire departments response and actions taken to extinguish said fire. There will be NO burn permits issued during a Total Fire Ban.

    The Total Fire Ban will remain in effect until significant rainfall is received and reviewed by the Fire Department. Only the Fire Department may lift this ban.

    For the 29th year, McDonald’s Canada is rallying Canadians to support Ronald McDonald House Charities® (RMHC®) and other local children’s charities through its biggest fundraising initiative of the year – McHappy Day®! On McHappy Day, a portion of proceeds from every food and beverage purchase, all day long, will help support families with sick children through RMHC and local children’s charities. Last year, McHappy Day raised over $5.7 million in support of families with sick children who rely on services like RMHC. #KeepingFamiliesClose


    Come and join us on Wednesday, May 10th at the Bancroft McDonalds for McHappy Day! Members of the Bancroft Fire Department will be there helping serve customers throughout the day (emergency calls pending, of course). Come purchase yourself a coffee, burger, or even a pair of McHappy Day socks and help support the Ronald McDonald House Charities across Canada!
