The government of Nova Scotia said it is lifting the woods ban in some parts of the province put in place to prevent wildfires.
The province had placed restrictions on activities in forested areas as of Aug. 5. It said that hot and dry conditions had increased the risk of wildfires. The restrictions included a ban on hiking, camping, fishing, or using vehicles in the woods. There was also a ban on using trail systems.
