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.

Communities skip the fireworks, focus on reconciliation ahead of ... (The Globe and Mail)

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.
