Public Notice: Cancellation of the Baysville Canada Day Fireworks Display

Statement shared from Station 4 Baysville of the Huntsville Lake of Bays Fire Department

The annual fireworks display in Baysville, organized by the Station 4 Volunteer Fire Association, have been cancelled. This is due to provincial legislation that mandates specific safety zone and setback requirements that are no longer met at the Baysville Dam location. The Fireworks Team, who are licensed and solely responsible for the discharge of fireworks and mortars, must make sound safety decisions and adhere to provincial safety standards to maintain their licenses.
 
Unfortunately, no other suitable locations in Baysville can accommodate both the safety requirements and the space needed for spectators to gather safely.
 
We understand this news may be disappointing for many residents and visitors. The Station 4 Volunteer Fire Association encourages everyone to enjoy the July 1st Canada Day fireworks presentation over Hunters Bay in Huntsville as an alternative celebration.
 
We appreciate your understanding and continued support for community events. Safety remains our top priority, and we look forward to exploring options for future celebrations that meet all necessary safety standards.
