Firework Safety
Residents and visitors are reminded that fireworks are only permitted on designated days set out in the Towns Noise Control By-law. This includes Canada Day and the day immediately preceding and following the holiday.
Fireworks should only be used in clear areas away from other structures and dry vegetation. Fireworks are not to be used on streets or public property. Please follow these safety precautions when discharging fireworks:
- Place fireworks in a bucket of sand and incline fireworks to travel away from spectators. Postpone the use of fireworks if the wind is strong.
- Ensure spectators are at least 10 metres away from the fireworks firing line.
- Always have water close by, either access to a garden house or bucket of water.
- You must be 18 years of age to discharge fireworks and should always wear eye protection and gloves.
- Do not attempt to pick-up or re-ignite a firework that did not discharge for at least 30 minutes.
- Dispose of fireworks properly by soaking them in water and then placing them in your trash can.
- Do not hold a lit firework in your hand or throw or point them at other people.
- Do not give sparklers to children. Sparklers burn extremely hot and can ignite clothing, cause severe burns and eye injuries.
