Tignanelli said the motion looks to cut red tape and give local businesses an opportunity to earn some money.
The motion refers to city bylaw 2010-146, which only allows fireworks to be sold on certain days of the year – Canada Day, Victoria Day and August Civic Holiday, as well as the seven days immediately preceding those days, including Sundays.

These new SCBAs are replacing the nearly 20 years old equipment that was in use. In July of last year, Deputy Fire Chief Doug Waechter presented a report to the South Bruce Council highlighting the need for new SCBAs. Waechter explained that the age of their current SCBA, combined with the difficulties and expense to repair them, made the need for new equipment urgent.
