City Hall wants you to know that Fireworks are permitted to be set off on Victoria Day only (May 20).
Please continue to use our valued outdoor spaces responsibly. The City’s bylaw regulates where and when residents can set off family (low hazard) fireworks. For more information about who to contact if you have a concern, visit burlington.ca/fireworks.
