SCRAMBLE: Canadian Man IS Fined $28,872 for Walking in Woods During Wildfire Ban
Description
Canadian Man Fined $28,872 for Walking in Woods During Wildfire Ban
For the first time in recent memory, Nova Scotia has closed hiking trails, backcountry routes, and all forest access across the province and one Canadian Air Force veteran just found out exactly how serious the government is about enforcing it.
Jeff Evely, a retired Master Warrant Officer with 20 years of service, shared a now viral video showing himself deliberately stepping into the woods in Coxheath, Nova Scotia, despite a province wide “Stay Out of the Woods” order. Moments later, conservation officers handed him a ticket for $28,872 CAD, the maximum fine under the new rules.
