Open Air Burning

Municipal Council has enacted By-law 2011-65, being "a by-law to prescribe the precautions and conditions under which fires may be set in open air".

The by-law requires that residents obtain a 'conditional permit' once each year.  There is no fee for this permit, but you must obtain it from the municipal office in Spencerville prior to any open burning.  Once a conditional permit has been obtained, then you must also get permission prior to each burn by calling the Fire Department at 613-658-3001 or 613-349-4541 (cell).

Other provisions of By-law 2011-65 include the prohibition on open burning for purposes other than cooking in the high density residentilal areas of Cardinal, Johnstown and Spencerville.

Please be advised that we are now issuing burn permits for the calendar year 2012.  Anyone who has acquired a burn permit in the past must renew their permit for the year 2012 at the Township office in Spencerville.
