Firework Ban

Please be advised that by accordance with Bylaw 20-41, the use of fireworks are not prohibited. This weekend's hot, dry weather creates the perfect conditions for an out-of-control fire, so we ask the public to respect the fireworks ban and stay safe! One spark can lead to a fire and put others at risk.
