BC Wildfire Service is asking residents to be careful about where they set off fireworks this Canada Day. Rob Barnett, a technician with BCWS, said although ...

“There’s plenty of green right now but as the grass starts to dry up we just want people to be responsible,” Barnett said. “Most people seem pretty aware, which is really nice to hear,” Barnett said. With no major fires to fight right now, Barnett said he and other B.C Wildfire crew members have had more time for public engagement and outreach. That’s why we really emphasize people clean up their own properties first.” FireSmarting, which includes burning slash, should be done by June, but Barnett said homeowners can still protect their properties with regular maintenance. Those who plan to set off fireworks are encouraged to do so over non-vegetative areas like lakes and gravel pits.

Canada Day will look a little different this year as scores of towns and cities will weave reconciliation themes into a holiday that has long spurned ...

Major federal funding started in 1958, but has waxed and waned depending on the state of Quebec separatism and other political considerations. But last year, with Canada Day events cancelled, around 1,000 residents of Sechelt and the surrounding Sunshine Coast region marched on July 1 to honour children who attended residential schools. In Sechelt, Mr. Feshchuk never used to pay attention to Canada Day. “It was just another day on the calendar to me,” he said. In Thunder Bay, too, the city has decided to skip the fireworks and focus on a reconciliation theme. “Now, we are weaving together a new narrative that we are all one and should celebrate as one.” But doing so hasn’t come without controversy, a constant bedfellow of Canada Day since its inception as Dominion Day in 1879.

We have a variety of resources that will be in the area to ensure everyone can enjoy the event safely. We will be in the area to ensure everyone enjoys the weekend safely," Li said. "We will continue to monitor each situation individually." And our role is always to ensure public safety. “I sat down with Chief (James) Ramer to reiterate the experiences and requests I've been hearing from residents in the area. “And so I can tell you that the police have learned from those kinds of experiences. So, our city-planned events don't seem to cause a lot of problems like this,” Cindy Cass told CP24.com. At a news conference on Thursday, Const. Alex Li said police are expecting large crowds along the waterfront for the long weekend. Only adults 18 years of age or older should supervise or set off fireworks,” staff said. A total of 19 people were arrested and charged for the incidents, including 10 minors. “We want to assure residents and visitors that public safety is our top priority.

A Nova Scotia municipality won't stage a Canada Day parade due to high costs and dwindling support. There are other similar stories across the country.

Last year, many cities opted to cancel Canada Day events after the discovery of unmarked graves at sites of former residential schools. The Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo will be hosting its Canada Day parade. "It's evolved over the years to what we had right up until just prior to COVID." Banff, Alta., made the decision to replace its parade with a day of activities and performances. A new requirement for federal funding that guarantees the event will happen prompted Jeffery to pull the plug on the event last fall, he said. "The parade itself takes a lot of planning and it has quite a bit of cost to it," Jeffery said.
