Effective immediately, a total Fire Burn Ban will be in effective for the Municipality of Bifrost-Riverton.

After reviewing current conditions and forecasts, the Municipality of Bifrost-Riverton will follow suit with both the Province and our surrounding municipalities and put a total fire burn ban in place for the Municipality effective immediately.

All active burn permits are immediately suspended until further notice. All permit holders will be contacted.

The fire ban includes campfires, burning barrels, sky lanterns and fireworks.

Motorized backcountry travel, including ATV's and other off-road vehicles are not permitted on any trails, in grassy fields or wooded areas due to the sparks that could easily ignite a fire.

This Fire Ban is due to the presence of dangerous combinations of temperature, wind, relative humidity, fuel or drought conditions which can contribute to new fires or the rapid spread of existing fires.

Property Assessment Information Available Online

Manitoba’s property assessment services are now digitally available. Property owners outside the City of Winnipeg can access their assessment notice by creating an account on the MyPropertyMB digital portal.

Through the portal, property owners have access to enhanced details of their property assessment, such as buildings assessed on their property, characteristics including building age, size, and features that impact the assessed value.

Property Assessment Services Branch has posted a MyPropertyMB logo on its website to inform property owners about its digital services. Manitoba Municipal and Northern Relations encourages all municipalities to include the MyPropertyMB logo and the link to the MyPropertyMB signup page on their website.

Use of this application over traditional mailing reduces assessment services costs for municipalities.

Detailed instructions on how to add the logo and link to your website are attached to this bulletin.
