They didn't close that area. I believe that the fire ban has been removed from that area. It is the South West corner of the province that is so very dry that they have closed some of the areas. Here is a good site for checking if provincial areas are under a fire ban.

Andy & I went to go riding at Indian Graves on Wednesday, didn't realise that there was a an actual forest closure that far north! So we ended up at maclean doing Swanny's etc so the day wasn't wasted!

Looks like the Forestry Closure north of highway #3 has been lifted but the fire ban is still on.
Had a pretty good shower on Monday night but still pretty dry.
I have no enlightening quips
