Fireworks Bylaw

Any person eighteen (18) years of age or older may apply for a Fireworks Permit to fire, set off or explode Family Fireworks or Display Fireworks by submitting an application to the Fire Chief.

To prevent possible noise impacts of fireworks on wildlife, fireworks cannot be discharged within 200 metres of the designated Environmentally Sensitive Areas of:

• All Bay/Tsehum
• Roberts Bay
• KELSET (Reay Creek)
• Lochside

See if you are in an area where fireworks are prohibited by checking out these maps:

• Fireworks Prohibition Zone for Roberts Bay
  
• Fireworks Prohibition Zone for KELSET (Reay Creek)
• Firework Prohibition Zone for All Bay/Tsehum
• Fireworks Prohibition Zone for Lochside

Applications for Family Fireworks Permits, once completed, are to be submitted to the Fire Department for authorization. Applications can be dropped off in person, mailed to the department, or sent electronically. The $10.00 fee can now be paid online, or through cash or cheque. Please contact the Fire Department for more details by either email or 250-656-2121.
