- Fireworks are not permitted or be in your possession on City property
- Depending on your Municipality, fireworks are permitted dusk to 11pm
- Communicate with your neighbours when you are shooting fireworks
- Inform the neighbours of the date and time you plan on discharging the fireworks
- Invite your neighbours to watch the fireworks display
- It would be helpful to be respectful of neighbours who have pets that should be kept indoors or anyone sensitive to noise
- Be prepared for the weather so that it’s not too windy or wet
- Determine a setup location that is the maximum distance away from the audience and neighbouring audiences (everyone loves watching a fireworks show!)
- Be prepared. Have your equipment; safety goggles, torch or flare, a source of water and READ the safety instructions on each firework
- Wait 30 minutes until after the show to begin clean up. That allows time for the last flame to extinguish
- Read your by-law. If you have questions, call them
- Be safe and respectable of all fireworks
