What counts as the woods? Judge axes Nova Scotia’s ban that defied ‘commonsense definitions’
A Nova Scotia Supreme Court judge has overturned a 2025 provincial emergency ban on entering 'the woods' implemented to curb wildfire spread, ruling the overly vague regulation violated Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms mobility rights. The ruling followed a challenge by hiker Jeffrey Evely, who deliberately violated the ban to contest a nearly C$29,000 fine, with legal support from the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms.
