Here in Buckhorn Ontario, we have something for everyone.  We have upcoming Craft Shows, Art Shows, events for children, adults & families and lots of hiking trails.

The Municipality of Trent Lakes  has issued fire bans.  Check their website for updates.

Total Burn Ban Lifted in Selwyn, ON – August 26, 2025
No Brush Burning Still in Effect

The Selwyn Fire Department has lifted the Total Burn Ban that was
implemented on August 11, 2025, due to high fire risk conditions.
Recent improvements in weather and fire risk levels allow for the safe
resumption of some burning activities; however, restrictions remain in place.
Permitted:
Campfires, outdoor fireplaces, fire pits and chimineas
Prohibited:
Yard waste and brush burning
Agricultural burns

Personal fireworks are still discouraged. Licensed and insured commercial fireworks displays that have appropriate mitigation measures in place are permitted.

The Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park is also under a fire ban.

WHAT’S HAPPENING IN TRENT LAKES

The Municipality Trent Lakes has recently implemented a new by-law designed to ensure that Short-Term Rental Accommodations (STRAs) are managed responsibly and enhance the quality of life for everyone in our community.

The by-law includes an updated process for registration, safety standards, and operational procedures. Our goal is to support you through this transition and ensure that you’re fully compliant with the new requirements.

Residents and Property owners who wish to rent, advertise or offer for lease their single detached dwelling for a period of less than 28 consecutive days, are required to register as a STRA with a fee of $350.00 with an annual renewal of $250.00.

For further information on the by-law and how it might impact you, please review the links below or reach out to our team at development@trentlakes.ca.
