What to do
Bury or Brace Aerial Fireworks
Always bury or brace aerial fireworks unless the product label specifically instructs otherwise.
Bury aerial fireworks to half their length in a pail filled with earth or sand, or brace them securely with heavy objects on both sides.
Do not ignite cakes or other freestanding aerial items without securing them when the label requires support; tipping can send effects sideways.
Be a Good Neighbour
Notify neighbours before your display so people with pets, young children, shift work or noise sensitivities can prepare.
Clean up all fireworks debris, including anything that lands outside your property.
Store & Transport Fireworks Safely
Store fireworks in a cool, dry place and out of the reach of children.
When transporting fireworks, keep them out of direct sunlight. Use your trunk or a sturdy cardboard box in the passenger compartment.
Never smoke while loading, transporting or unloading fireworks.
Age 18+ or Direct Adult Supervision
Type F.1 fireworks are for sale to persons 18 years of age or older in Canada.
Anyone under 18 who uses fireworks must be directly supervised by an adult.
Select a Safe Firing Site

Follow the minimum spectator distance printed on each product label.
Use fireworks only on private property with the property owner’s permission, and only where local rules allow.

Do not shoot fireworks in winds above 30 km/h.
Follow the Product Instructions
Read the instructions printed on each firework label before use.

Do Not Hold Fireworks in Your Hand
Never light or hold a firework in your hand during use unless the manufacturer specifically identifies the product as handheld.
Ignite Fireworks Safely
Light the fuse at its tip.
Light at arm’s length, then stand clear.
Consider an igniter stick or approved remote firing system where appropriate.
Keep Water on Hand
Keep water nearby in case spent fireworks smoulder or catch fire.
Place used fireworks and debris in a pail of water. Soak for 24–48 hours before disposing of them with normal household waste, subject to local disposal rules.
Wear Safety Glasses
Safety glasses or goggles are strongly recommended for anyone lighting fireworks and for people close to the firing area.
Use Caution with a Dud Firework
Wait at least 30 minutes before approaching a firework that did not go off.
Never try to relight or repair a defective firework.
Never put a dud firework into a campfire. Treat unused material as hazardous and follow local disposal guidance.
