The reminder is a timely one, as it would appear that more than a few residents of the community may not be aware of the ban, that at least the unscientific findings from around town over the last few weeks with occasional bursts of noise and sparkles in the sky.

The Fireworks Bylaw goes back to the seventies and most recently amended in 1996. 

You can review the details to it here, though from past audio/visual  experiences, we're not sure how successful the City has been in the past when it comes to penalty phase of the bylaw.

As the City notes, there is the Big Show set for Halloween Evening at the Civic Centre with Mount Hays serving as the backdrop to the annual pyrotechnics spectacular.

The Fireworks display comes as the finale to the Halloween Events at the Civic Centre which takes place from 6:15 to 8:15 PM

You can review all of the Halloween Notes we have to date from our Spooktacular Showcase page.
