Due to anticipated hot, dry weather conditions by the end of the week, the Drayton Valley/Brazeau County Fire Services is issuing a Fire Restriction for the area of Brazeau County and the Town of Drayton Valley — effective Wednesday April 30, 2025 at 8:00 a.m.

A Fire Restriction occurs when the fire hazard in the area is high to very high. Wildfires can start easily from most causes. Wildfires may become serious and difficult to control if not successfully contained while small.

❗NOTE: Outdoor burning is only permitted in approved fire pits or approved burning appliances. Existing fire permits are still valid (no permit extensions will be issued). No new fire permits will be issued until the Fire Restriction is lifted.

Allowed:
→ Safe wood campfires in approved fire pits
→ Portable propane fire pits
→ Gas or propane stoves and barbecues
→ Charcoal and pellet barbeques
→ Catalytic or infrared-style heater
→ Approved and certified incinerators (for agricultural use)

We are incredibly proud to unveil the Canada Connects Fun & Family mural here in Drayton Valley; a vibrant piece that we are proud to display on the wall of the Omniplex, showcasing the creativity and spirit of artists from across the country and around the world.

• Drayton Valley Hospitality & Tourism Authority, for their partnership and support.
• And of course, all the talented artists — local and beyond — who painted and submitted their tiles to form this mural.

Members of Town Council and Administration gathered at the Civic Centre to lower the flags and observe a moment of silence for this year's National Day of Mourning in recognition of those who were injured or lost their lives in workplace accidents.

Across Canada, the National Day of Mourning is officially observed every year on April 28. The National Day of Mourning offers us an opportunity to recognize the 203 workers in Alberta who lost their lives through work related illness or injury in 2024. This is also an opportunity to reflect and re-commit to the culture of health and safety in the workplace.
