Fireworks

Brampton City Council made changes to the City’s fireworks bylaw in November banning personal fireworks in the city, but Canada Day is one of a few days every year when the City of Brampton sets off a firework display.

Only the film industry and the City are allowed to apply for permits to use fireworks in Brampton under the new bylaw.

Fines have been increased to a minimum of $500 for discharging fireworks, a $1,000 penalty for selling them or failing to comply with an order and a maximum fine of up to $100,000.
