The N.W.T. government has issued a fire ban for some territorial parks just ahead of the weekend, including Hidden Lake and Hay River Territorial Parks.
The ban, in effect as of Friday afternoon, is in response to hot and dry conditions. It means that all open fires, including those within an approved fire pit, are prohibited.
