Heads-up that there are new 2 fires burning in the Eastern Fraser Valley:

While they are probably not going to affect local flying at Woodside, Bridal is technically affected by the (still-small) Gloria fire.
To refresh your memories, the relevant CAR is 601.15 at http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regu ... ge-81.html

601.15 No person shall operate an aircraft
(a) over a forest fire area, or over any area that is located within five nautical miles of a forest fire area, at an altitude of less than 3,000 feet AGL
5 nautical miles = 9.26 km, putting Bear Mountain as well as the Butterfly/Ludwig, and Bridal launch, inside the zone if you are under 3000' AGL.
Hopefully they will be put out in the next day or so!
