Recent dry weather has increased the risk of fire hazard around the southwest and prompted the province's Ministry of Environment to issue a fire ban in the Centre and West Blocks of Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park this weekend.
In addition, all trails and back roads in the area have been closed to travel.
A fire ban was previously in place for the last week in August, but was lifted before the Labour Day weekend.
The ban will remain in effect until further notice.
