The purpose of this petition is to ask the County of Brant to change its current fireworks regulations so that fireworks can only be set off in designated, approved public locations, such as suitable parks, rather than on private residential properties.

We are not asking for the currently permitted fireworks holidays to be removed or changed. We simply want to change where fireworks are allowed to be discharged.

Fireworks can create serious safety concerns, including injuries, property damage, fire hazards, excessive noise and distress for pets, wildlife, children and other residents.

This issue is personal to me, as I have and experienced damage to my vehicle.

Residents should be able to enjoy holiday celebrations without putting other people, their families, pets or property at risk.

By moving fireworks to designated public locations with appropriate safety measures. we can still enjoy these traditions while making our communities safer and more considerate for everyone.

Please sign this petition if you support keeping fireworks holidays while restricting where fireworks can be set off in the County of Brant. Every signature helps show that residents want this change.
