Fireworks are popping up in corner stores and parking lots, and we want everyone to enjoy a safe and happy holiday weekend.

The City will be holding its annual public fireworks display at dusk off Kelso Beach on Monday, July 1 (raindate July 2), following family activities starting at 4 p.m.

If you're shopping for your own, remember that within the City, fireworks can only be used on private property between 7 p.m. and 11 p.m. on Canada Day and the closest Friday and Saturday, and on the Civic Holiday and 3 calendar days before, without a permit.

Details about safe use of fireworks – distances from buildings and spectators, safe use and disposal – and the hefty provincial offences fines for misuse, are in Schedule A appended to the City's fireworks' by-law.

* And under the heading of “who knew?” , the “high risk” category of fireworks,(not legally for sale in the City of Owen Sound) include - “rockets, serpents, shells, bombshells, skyrockets, torpedoes, Daygo bombs, tourbillions, maroons, large wheels, bouquets, barrages, bombardos, waterfalls, fountains, batteries, illuminations, set pieces, pigeons, firecrackers and any other like products”.)
