Fire Ban Rescinded for LLRIB Communities

The Lac La Ronge Indian Band Emergency Management Office is pleased to advise community members that the fire ban for all LLRIB communities has been rescinded effective immediately.

This applies to:

• La Ronge 156 & Kitsaki 156B
• Sucker River
• Stanley Mission
• Grandmother's Bay
• Hall Lake
• Little Red River Reserve

Recent rainfall across the region has significantly reduced the wildfire risk, and current conditions no longer warrant a fire ban. This decision aligns with the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency's lifting of fire restrictions across northern Saskatchewan.

While the fire ban has been lifted, everyone is reminded to continue using caution when having campfires or conducting any outdoor burning. Please:

• Never leave a fire unattended.
• Keep water or a shovel nearby to fully extinguish your fire.
• Ensure fires are completely out before leaving the area.
• Follow any local burning regulations and report wildfires immediately by calling 9-1-1 or your local fire department.

The recent rain has brought welcome relief, but conditions can change quickly. We ask everyone to continue doing their part to help protect our communities, families, cabins, traplines, and surrounding forests.

LLRIB Emergency Management thanks all residents for their patience, cooperation, and commitment to fire safety throughout this wildfire season.

Stay safe and enjoy the outdoors responsibly.

✨ Amachewespimawin Community Gathering 2026 Recap ✨

What a wonderful three days of gathering, laughter and community spirit!

From Tuesday’s opening ceremonies, canoe regatta, gospel night, bingo and crib tournament, to Wednesday’s fun events, fish derby, bingo and Texas Hold’em, there was something for everyone. The gathering wrapped up Thursday with square dancing and jigging competitions, the horseshoe tournament, ladderball and the Missinipi Grand Ole Opry.

Throughout the gathering, community members also enjoyed traditional activities and crafts, including moose hide preparation and birch bark basket making, along with bouncy castles for the children.

Here are some photos from Wednesday that capture the joy, connection and community spirit felt throughout the gathering.

Thank you to the organizers, volunteers, participants and everyone who helped make this special event possible! 🧡
