City of Brampton moves to ban personal fireworks to address safety, noise concerns
Brampton says it will add an annual city-run Diwali celebration event with fireworks, similar to those on Canada Day and New Year’s Eve in 2023, if the new motion is ratified.
Environment Canada warned last month that “high levels of air pollution” were anticipated across parts of Toronto and surrounding areas due to expected fireworks for Diwali, prompting questions about why the major Hindu holiday was singled out _ the agency later updated its statement to remove the mention of Diwali.
