The Township of Tiny’s Fireworks Enforcement Campaign took place from May 18 to May 25, 2022, with enhanced visibility and enforcement by By-law Officers.
The objectives of the campaign were to:
- Promote awareness of the new Fireworks By-law 21-102;
- Increase education and enforcement of the specific rules;
- Promote awareness of the By-law Department coverage.
Over the course of the 8-day campaign, the By-law Department attended to 11 Fireworks complaints. During the campaign, a total of 2 proactive charges were issued. Both charges were issued for the following offence: “Set off fireworks on public property without authorization”.
We would like to remind the public to review the Fireworks By-law 21-102.
- Fireworks can only be discharged on Victoria Day, Canada Day, New Year's Eve, and New Year’s Day.
- The discharge of fireworks is strictly prohibited within the municipality outside of these four days.
- The sale of fireworks within the municipality is now limited to the seven days prior to any of the permitted days for setting off fireworks.
- A ticket or summons to appear in court could be issued with fines ranging between $365.00 to $100,000.00 to anyone caught violating this by-law.
The By-law Department can be reached at (705) 526-4136 and will provide the following coverage:
