Proposed By-law Changes
A new Fireworks By-law will reflect the changing needs in the community with respect to when fireworks are discharged. The changes will:
- Recognize Canada Day, Victoria Day, Diwali, Chinese New Year, and New Year’s Eve as observances, which would permit residents to also discharge fireworks on these days;
- Include additional fire safety requirements when discharging consumer fireworks;
- Establish minimum safe distances from vulnerable and industrial properties;
- Set acceptable times for discharging of fireworks; and
- Enhance neighbourhood safety by only permitting non-aerial fireworks to be discharged by residents.
Additional Information
For more information about this matter, you may contact the Chief Fire Prevention Officer from Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
