With Canada Day around the corner, some people may be planning to light up the night in their yards to commemorate the occasion. The City of Vaughan is reminding citizens to remain vigilant, exercise caution around fireworks and follow proper usage tips.
The City’s fireworks by-law (PDF) allows consumer fireworks – family fireworks set off in a private, at-home display – to be lit without a permit on Canada Day. Fireworks are not permitted to be used on public property.
Vaughan Fire and Rescue Service provides the following tips to help citizens handle fireworks safely:
