Fireworks are a dazzling displays of light and color that captivate and mesmerize audiences as they burst across the night sky.  As the wildfire smoke clears from our city, you might be wondering how you can safely enjoy a display without adding unnecessary smoke or even accidentally starting a new fire.

Might we suggest attending one of the many professional, public displays that are being offered across Toronto and the GTA? Not only is it safer, but you’ll also be able to share the excitement with your neighbours.
