The city said it received 300 complaints about fireworks in 2022 and has introduced an online complaint system to speed up the process.
“While some residents love the sights and sounds of fireworks in the sky, others have concerns about where and when they’re being set off,” the city said in a statement.
Mississauga said that, once a complaint has been submitted, it will trigger a response and an investigation from bylaw enforcement officers.
