Please also be aware of BWG's Fireworks By-Law 1996-024
Residents of BWG are permitted to set off “family fireworks” only on their own property (not public property like parks or roads) and only on Victoria Day and Canada Day, plus the two days before and two days after those dates. All reasonable precautions must be taken to ensure no harm to people or property, and you must clean up any resulting debris and dispose of it safely.
Fire Safety
BWG Fire & Emergency Services wants to remind residents to follow these firework safety tips when setting off family fireworks this Victoria Day:
- Carefully read and follow the directions on the packaging.
- Always keep a hose or pail of water close by.
- Set off fireworks well away from combustible materials like buildings, trees and dry grass.
- Light only one firework at a time.
- Never try to light a firework in your hand.
- Never re-light “dud” fireworks. Wait 30 minutes, then soak them in a bucket of water.
- Be respectful of your community and clean up after your fireworks.

We wish our community members a happy and safe Victoria Day long weekend!
