Fireworks could soon be completely off limits in the City of Mississauga.
On Wednesday, City Council’s general committee considered an updated staff report that recommends a ban on consumer fireworks or those used by the public for outdoor enjoyment across the municipality.
Prepared by Raj Sheth, the city’s commissioner of community services, it calls for a “full prohibition on the sale, distribution, possession and use of consumer fireworks in Mississauga,” adding that failing to do so could “unintentionally encourage greater fireworks use in Mississauga, resulting in additional enforcement pressures, increased safety risks and avoidable neighbourhood disturbances.”
