Provinces and territories we track
Canada publishes fire bans through thirteen separate authorities. We report 5 of them so far. The rest are listed with the reason they are missing — a gap you can see is more useful than a page that quietly omits them.

Why only 5 of thirteen
Two different reasons, and it is worth keeping them apart. Some sources cannot be read by a machine at all — they sit behind bot protection or publish their status as prose we would have to guess at, and guessing is the one thing this site does not do. Others are perfectly readable, and the hold-up is permission: several provinces license their data for non-commercial use only, so republishing it here needs their written consent first.
Every unit listed above without numbers falls into one of those two groups. None of them is missing because the work was not done — they are missing because publishing them would mean either inventing a status or ignoring a licence.
