Fireworks

The safest way to enjoy fireworks while celebrating Canada Day is to attend the public display held at Lakeview Park.

If you are planning your own backyard fireworks show on Victoria or Canada Day, Fireworks By-law #59-2014 provides detailed information on the sale and lighting of fireworks to help keep your celebrations safe.

A fireworks permit can be obtained from Service Oshawa, Monday to Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Applications must be received 21 days prior to proposed sales or fireworks discharge date.

Permits are required for the following:

• Discharge of fireworks
• Sale of fireworks (from a temporary sales unit)
