As Victoria Day approaches, the City of London would like to remind residents planning backyard fireworks to show neighbours some #LdnKindness by adhering to the Fireworks By-law.
The Fireworks By-law allows backyard fireworks only on permitted days between dusk and 11:00 p.m. This year, these days are:
- Victoria Day, May 23
- Canada Day, July 1
- Saturday, July 2
Only adults who are aware of the hazards and take essential safety precautions should handle and discharge fireworks. Always have a water hose or pail close by and monitor wind conditions, as risks increase in high winds.
Safety matters, whether your plans involve a large display or a few sparklers, because even sparklers can reach extreme temperatures and cause burns if they’re handled incorrectly.
In the event of fire or personal injury that requires immediate attention, residents are reminded to call 9-1-1.
