We did it.  The fireworks have been postponed for now. Lets work together to get them cancelled permanently. 

THANK YOU EVERYONE

Everything about this event is ill-advised. I've learned from more than one source that in 2019 Osprey chicks died in the nest due to the local Canada Day fireworks scaring the parents away. Obviously, the juveniles have fledged at this time of year BUT it is still an extremely important time for them as they gain strength and master flight and fishing skills for their long migration.

Not only this but current Covid restrictions are still in place - I wonder who is going to be policing that?

Thirdly fireworks are nasty toxic things - did you know that a case study ' found that within 1 hour of fireworks displays, strontium levels in the air increased 120 times, magnesium 22 times, barium 12 times, potassium 11 times, and copper (Cu) 6 times more than the amount already present in the air before the event (ref)'
