Canada Day Fireworks Permitted

In the Municipality of Trent Lakes fireworks are only permitted at designated times of any given calendar year.

This Canada Day, Friday, July 1st long weekend, and the weekend preceding it, and following it, ARE permitted periods that fireworks are allowed between 8 p.m. to 11 p.m.

Exercise extreme caution if you are going to be setting off fireworks at any location within the Municipality of Trent Lakes. Be sensitive and aware of your surroundings and especially proximity to people, private property and our brush or trees.

Trent Lakes has an abundance of lakes and rivers, but it is also heavily forested. Your care and vigilance ensures their protection.

Please respect the land, but we are also a diversity of people and pets in Trent Lakes. Both can be adversely affected by fireworks. From veteran's or other frontline workers suffering with PTSD, children with autism, to dogs and cats (and even some wildlife), fireworks can cause great distress. Designated times allow for preplanning and preparing ahead for families. Keep your fireworks within the designated window. 

Fireworks are never permitted to be set off on, in, or towards any Municipally owned properties or parklands (this includes roadways and beaches).

Don't litter. Clean up after yourself. Dispose of all spent firework materials and any other garbage appropriately. It doesn't matter if you've been here for years, a week or a single day, you are a neighbour, so please be a good one.

If you have opted to have a bonfire for the evening make sure you've obtained a FREE burn permit on the Trent Lakes website to do ANY open air burning. You will need a permit if you are a resident or rental guest of a Trent Lakes property. To obtain a permit follow this link: https://www.trentlakes.ca/en/live/burn-permits.aspx

We wish you a Fun, Safe and Happy Canada Day and long weekend.
