Fire ban now in effect across PEI. Details in the post. 🔥🚫

PEI’s minister responsible for forestry has issued a fire closure order that bans all fires in the province, including campfires, until further notice.

The ban on campfires and bonfires includes fires on private property as well at provincial parks and campgrounds. Fines under the Forest Fire Prevention Act are enforced while a fire closure order is in place. Fines can reach up to $50,000, plus victims of crime costs. A person causing a fire may be liable for all damages arising from the fire.

Domestic brush burning, known as category 1 burns, continue to be banned. Permits are now revoked for industrial and agricultural burns, also known as category 2, 3 and 4 permits, regardless of weather conditions.

Additional information on the fire closure order is available https://www.princeedwardisland.ca/en/information/environment-energy-and-climate-action/burn-ban-fire-closure-order-frequently-asked

How U.S. Tariffs Could Impact Home Insurance in PEI 🏡💰

With new U.S. tariffs now in effect, I’ve had a few people ask—will this affect home insurance? While I’m not an expert on tariffs, I can share how rising material costs might impact rebuilding and repairs.

🔺 Rising Construction Costs – Increased demand and supply chain challenges could drive up material prices, making home repairs and rebuilds more expensive.

📉 Impact on Coverage – If rebuilding costs rise, your current coverage limits may not be enough to fully cover repairs or a full rebuild.

📋 Why a Policy Review Matters – Making sure your coverage reflects today’s construction costs can help prevent gaps and unexpected out-of-pocket expenses.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out!

🚗 Sometimes, you just have to know when to walk away—literally!

I’ve gotten stuck a couple of times over the past few years, and today, I came across a road I wasn’t sure I would make it down without getting stuck. So, I made the safe call and walked instead.

When it comes to home insurance, knowing when to adjust your coverage is just as important. If you’re making changes to your home this winter—new heating source, renovations, or even extended time away—make sure your policy is up to date.

It’s all about making the safe call—on the road and at home. 🚶‍♂️❄️🏡
