The “Fireworks Enforcement Campaign” took place between June 28 to July 5, 2022, with stepped-up visibility and enforcement by 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 23 Fireworks complaints. During the campaign, a total of 6 charges were issued. Charges were issued for the following offences:
Offence Type | Charges | Fine |
- Set off Fireworks on public property without authorization | 4 | $365.00 |
2 | $365.00 |
