Fireworks in Nanaimo are strictly prohibited
The City of Nanaimo Fire Rescue
Department would like to inform residents that a Bonfire Permit is required for
Halloween on October 31st and for Guy Fawkes Night on November 5th 2015. These
are one-time special event permits and separate applications are required for
each event. In addition, residents need to be aware that the sale, possession,
and discharge of fireworks is strictly prohibited.
The regulations for
the bonfires, and application forms can only be filled out and submitted in
person to 580 Fitzwilliam Street. Deadline is Friday October 30th at noon for
Halloween and Noon on November 5th for Guy Fawkes. Fees for these one time
only special event permits have been waived.
We would also like to
remind everyone that Halloween is a fun, and spooky time of year for kids. If
children are wearing a mask, make sure they can see, give the kids a flashlight
or glow stick so they can be seen.
