Council endorses changes to fireworks bylaw Posted on May 11, 2021 by oshawaexpress in CITY, NEWS By Courtney Bachar/The Oshawa Express Oshawa’s Fireworks Bylaw is being amended to provide greater clarity concerning the sale and discharge of fireworks when a prohibition is in place. According to a city report, the need for these changes became apparent last year when a Fireworks Discharge prohibition was declared and fireworks sale permits in temporary sale units, such as portable stands and trailers, were not being issued to prevent large gatherings during the COVID-19 pandemic. Oshawa Fire Chief Derrick Clark says people continued to sell fireworks last year despite the prohibition order.
