Canada Day: Where fireworks will and will not be set off across the country

Here is a roundup of where fireworks will and will not be set off this Canada Day.

Revellers can expect Canada Day celebrations to look different across the country this year as smoke from forest fires blankets communities from coast to coast and some municipalities face budget constraints.

Here is a partial roundup of where public fireworks will and will not be set off this July 1.

Vancouver: The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority said it decided in 2022 to permanently discontinue its annual fireworks display on the waterfront at Canada Place “primarily due to rising costs.” Instead, five city blocks at Canada Place will feature food trucks and a main stage with a diverse lineup of entertainment, including headliners Tegan and Sara.

Victoria: Fireworks over Victoria’s Inner Harbour are slated to be set off at 10:20 p.m.

Kamloops: Kamloops said it’s planning a fireworks show at Riverside Park at dusk, or approximately 9:30 p.m., weather and fire conditions permitting.

Burnaby: Burnaby’s Central Park will wrap up an evening of Canada Day festivities with a fireworks finale at 10:15 p.m.

Surrey: Fireworks will be set off from the Bill Reid Millennium Amphitheatre in Surrey at 10:15 p.m.
