Consultation has concluded

The Township of Muskoka Lakes is considering updates to the Fireworks By-law. Prior to consideration of its approval, public input will be received on the Draft By-law through a short survey and comment period.

Existing By-law

Currently the Township’s Fireworks By-law allows a private fireworks display to be set off 7 days a week. Although a permit from the Fire Department for such display is required if the activity occurs from Sunday-Thursday, no such permit is required if the display occurs on Friday or Saturday.

Proposed Updated By-law

Notable changes involve limiting fireworks displays to Victoria Day, Canada Day, Labour Day, New Years Eve and New Years day.
