EG’s Fireworks Use Survey is closed.
During the month of March, residents were invited to complete an online survey to provide feedback on the use, sale and purchase of fireworks in EG.
Thank you to everyone who participated! Your feedback will help inform recommendations staff make about the updated Fireworks By-law to Council.
EG is updating the Fireworks By-law. Currently, EG’s Fireworks By-law regulates the use and sale of fireworks, including when and where they can be set off. Your feedback will help shape the future of fireworks use in EG and ensure the safety of our community.
