In Toronto, fireworks incidents can sometimes occur, as seen in 2024 when a fireworks fight broke out at Christie Pits on Victoria Day. During this event, fireworks were fired across Bloor Street and landed on at least one vehicle. The incident was resolved after police confiscated the fireworks, reminding the public that fireworks are not permitted in parks, streets, or private property not owned by the individual. The city has made plans for future celebrations, including public fireworks displays at Ashbridges Bay and other parks for events like Canada Day and New Year's Eve, while also emphasizing the importance of bylaw enforcement to maintain public safety.
