Effective immediately, a “NO BURN BAN” is in effect for the Province of Nova Scotia because of the forest fires. The ban is in effect until June 25, 2023, unless conditions improve and the Province deems it can be lifted sooner. This Burn Ban applies to all Millbrook First Nation lands due to the high risk of forest fires caused by dry conditions, winds, and low humidity. 

This ban includes backyard firepits, fireworks, brush burning, or any other open fire that may cause amber or sparks. Millbrook Security and Millbrook RCMP will look out for anyone with an open fire and request that the fire be put out. Thank you for being so cooperative, and stay safe.

On behalf of Millbrook First Nation,

We acknowledge the recent arrest and charges laid by the Nova Scotia RCMP against Dawn Ellis-Abbott for the theft of funds that rightfully belong to our community. We are pleased to see that steps are being taken towards a resolution and that Ms. Ellis-Abbott will be held responsible. Our community remains committed to ensuring that justice is served and that the appropriate measures are taken to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future. We would like to thank the RCMP for their work on the investigation.

Chief Bob Gloade

Over the next few weeks, Millbrook By-law & Public Safety will be conducting bear checks in the Fern South and Spruce Ave areas; if a bear is spotted, By-law Officer Adam Francis will be deploying a bear banger which is a projectile that sounds like a shotgun to try and attempt to scare the bear. Security and RCMP will notify the community via Facebook before deploying the Bear Banger. I appreciate your understanding.
