If you’re planning to light up the night sky on Vancouver Island this Halloween, it’s important to check in with your municipality to know any rules or restrictions in place.

Don’t be the one left holding the unlit Roman candle because you didn’t plan the fun.

Get a permit.

“We are asking residents to first get their fireworks permit before setting anything off this Halloween,” explains Amanda Yasinski, senior manager of building and bylaw compliance for the Comox Valley Regional District

“Failure to have a permit is now a $500 fine and residents are reminded to plan ahead. Also, please respect your neighbours and let them know beforehand if you are planning on setting off fireworks. This will help to reduce the possibility of frightened children and animals.”

Permits can be purchased
