Canadian Heritage is still planning to proceed with fireworks for the Canada Day celebrations at LeBreton Flats, as smoky air continues to blanket Ottawa.
Meantime, the city of Pembroke has announced the Canada Day fireworks in Riverside Park have been postponed due to the fire hazard conditions.
Canadian Heritage spokesperson Melanie Brault says as of 12 p.m. Friday, they are still going ahead with the fireworks. The Ottawa Redblacks and Ottawa Titans are planning to host fireworks displays following Friday night's games.
