For the second year in a row, the Canada Day civic fireworks in Kingston have been cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions.
City officials say there will be no organized fireworks at either Grass Creek park or the downtown area on July 1 this year.
Large indoor and outdoor gatherings are still not allowed and will not be permitted until Ontario enters Step 3 of its reopening framework, which is not expected until late July.
