NEW FIREWORKS REGULATIONS IN EFFECT - Dysart Municipal Council has passed a Fireworks By-law that regulates the dates and permitted times for the setting off of Fireworks within Dysart et al. Fireworks are only permitted on New Year's Eve and the weekends of Victoria Day, Canada Day and the Civic Holiday. Council also adopted a total ban of "Flying Lanterns" within the Municipality. Any person who violates the By-law is guilty of an offence and, upon conviction, is subject to a set fine of $500, as provided in the Provincial Offences Act.
The Municipality has provided an information sheet on the new bylaw, which you can download below. PLEASE NOTE: any complaints regarding the discharge of fireworks or release of flying lanterns must be directed in writing to the By-law Department, not the Fire Department.
