Prevention

New regulations came into effect on April 16, 2025 regarding fireworks within the Town of Stouffville.

The Fireworks By-law regulates the sale and use of fireworks in the Town of Stouffville. Fireworks are not permitted to be sold in the Town, nor is anyone permitted to set off family fireworks (also known as consumer fireworks) on any day of the year.

Any offences pertaining to the Fireworks By-law are enforceable under the Town’s Administrative Monetary Penalty System By-law.

Only a federally approved fireworks technician can discharge display fireworks with a permit. Please submit a Display Fireworks application form to us at least two weeks before the event date.

We will review the application and if necessary, conduct a site inspection before granting the permit. Pyrotechnic style fireworks typically used indoors must also follow the instructions listed for display fireworks. Upon approval, we will also notify municipal law enforcement and York Regional Police.
