The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms sent a legal warning to New Brunswick Premier Susan Holt and Minister John Herron, urging reversal of the province-wide ban on low-risk activities like hiking, cycling, and walking dogs on Crown land to prevent wildfires. Lawyer Allison Pejovic states the ban violates Canadians’ Charter rights, is disproportionate, and suggests less restrictive fire prevention measures instead. Legal action may follow if the ban continues.
