Residential Indoor Wood Burning Seasonal Prohibition May 15 to September 15

If you operate a residential indoor wood burning appliance in Metro Vancouver, Residential Indoor Wood Burning Emission Regulation Bylaw No. 1303 applies to you.

What you need to know:

• Users of residential indoor wood burning appliances (fireplaces, wood stoves, etc.) must use best burning practices

• Residential indoor wood burning appliances cannot be used between May 15 and September 15, every year, unless:

¡ The wood burning appliance is operated within an off-grid residence located outside the Urban Containment Boundary

¡ The wood burning appliance is the only source of heat in a residence

¡ There is an emergency (such as a gas or electrical outage lasting more than 3 hours)

Bylaw 1303 aims to reduce the impact on public health and the environment due to smoke from residential indoor wood burning

As of September 2022, if you burn, you must declare your use of best burning practices and, in urban areas, register eligible wood burning appliances

For more information, scan the QR code, go to metrovancouver org and search ‘Residential Wood Burning’, call 604-451-6677 or email riwb@metrovancouver.org

Metro Vancouver offers rebates to reduce emissions from wood burning appliances
