"Ontario: Patriotic holidays and multiculturalism
The urban south of Ontario isn’t forest fire county, but it does have a lot of immigration from countries with fireworks culture, so it’s not surprising the rules are fairly liberal, and getting more so.
“Toronto‘s actually gone the other way, rather than tightening up,” says Paul.
For much of Ontario, you’re good on or around Canada Day and Victoria Day without a permit, and some GTA municipalities now allow fireworks on the Hindu festival of Diwali. In Toronto itself, you might get away with lighting them off on Chinese New Year, and it’s possible to score a permit for other occasions."
All and all the article doesn't really give much info, not anything new. I found it mildly amusing when I read "so it’s not surprising the rules are fairly liberal, and getting more so" really..... really..... oh I don't think so.... and this little part at the end "and it’s possible to score a permit for other occasions." I guess this guy didn't look into what it takes to get a permit for 'other occasions' wow, this course I just did my instructor was telling us that they are looking for One Million dollars insurance liability for permits, now that's for Display fireworks, and event shows but I think asking for a permit for consumer fireworks shows is not far off.
