Saskatoon Fire & Protective Services reminds the residents of Saskatoon that low-hazard fireworks can only be detonated on private property between the hours of dusk and 11:00 p.m. on Victoria Day, Canada Day, and Labour Day, and between the hours of dusk on New Year’s Eve and 12:15 a.m. on New Year’s Day.
Low-hazard fireworks are designed for public recreational use and include some roman candles, sparklers, fountains, wheels, volcanoes, mines and snakes that do not travel above 60 feet.
High-hazard fireworks are designed for professionals and can only be purchased by persons holding a valid Fireworks Supervisor – Level I or Level II card issued by Natural Resources Canada.

Persons wanting to have a fireworks display that includes high-hazard fireworks, detonating low-hazard fireworks on public property, or any fireworks display outside of the designated times, must first obtain a Fireworks Permit.
