Friends of Dufferin Grove Park Newsletter, Volume 8 Number 8, August 2007

Three park staff take campfire bookings: Anna Bekerman, Mayssan Shuja, and Amy Withers. The bookings used to be less formal but this year they must be made two business days before the campfire. As in other years, park staff lend out the cooking grill and help with kindling if they have extra – other wood must usually be brought from home. Park staff also provide two buckets with water and a shovel (to shovel sand on the fire and extinguish it at the end). There are no permits for bonfires, only for small, pleasant campfires. Sing-songs are very nice, but there can be no drumming, it’s too disturbing to the neighbourhood. All fire permits are over at 11 pm.

This past winter the CELOS library added a wonderful book on cooking with fire (A campfire handbooks for parks) in addition to the original (Cooking with fire in public space), which is in the reference section of the rink house kitchen. Anyone is welcome to read it there.
