City warns of smoke from controlled burn

Feb 25, 2025 | 9:48 AM

People in and around Prince Albert are being warned that there will be smoke in the air as the city burns its clean wood pile at the landfill.

The burn starts today and the smoke smoke could last several days.

The controlled burn is authorized under the Landfill’s Operating Permit from the Ministry of Environment. The Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency will be notified, and the Prince Albert Fire Department has inspected the site.

The public may see smoke in the area as part of the controlled burn process over the next several days.
