Looking to start the conversation on innovation. If there is one thing you wish we could do differently in Canada what would it be? Be it more products allowed? Equipment types? What is something you wish you could change?

I would like to see the Authorization Process for fireworks focused only on authorizing fireworks based on safe functioning ,stable compositions and good construction so that it continues to be reasonably safe to handle, ship and use fireworks. There are far too many design specific requirements for fireworks in the "Criteria for Authorization of Consumer and Display Fireworks" here in Canada.
That would give us a much wider selection of fireworks designs.

More selection, less restrictions would be a good start.

I would love to see the municipal bylaws loosened up a bit.
The rules seem to still be based from a time when the average property was 60 x 180ft with a 1500 sq.ft. house on it(still tight with many modern fireworks pieces)and the fireworks were firecrackers, roman candles, mines and a useless burning schoolhouse.(hated it 50 years ago too)
Most new properties are sub 50' wide and sub 120' deep with a 2000 sq. ft. house. This is nowhere near enough room for even small backyard fun.
Most municipalities ban setting off consumer grade fireworks on public property and sometimes for good reason, but I think that some balance could be found other than the police simply being too slow to respond to catch the perpetrator.
If you have a good open space, neighbourhood co-operation and approval, and lots of fire prevention at hand, I think the municipalities should give a blessing to fireworks on the approved days.
I know it would be hard to police a more relaxed policy but we all have dreams.

That’s the cities way if politley saying, they don’t want fireworks in residential areas, complaints are louder than people having fun |
