Canada Day is known for its flashy fireworks finales, but the rules for setting them off privately differ between municipalities.
Here’s where you can and cannot set off fireworks in Saskatchewan cities.

Low hazard recreational fireworks can be purchased in Regina up to 10 days before Victoria Day, Canada Day or New Year’s Day.
SASKATOON
Fireworks are permitted on private property in Saskatoon during specified times on Canada Day, Victoria Day, and Labour Day.

The city prohibits the use of fireworks outside of those days and times, according to bylaws.
PRINCE ALBERT
Fireworks can be discharged in Prince Albert on Canada Day between dusk and 11 p.m.
They are not allowed to be set off on streets or other public areas, unless they are a part of a public display as permitted by the bylaw. Exceptions are also present on New Years Eve and Day.
Low hazard fireworks cannot be fired within the City of Prince Albert at any other time.
MOOSE JAW
Fireworks are not allowed to be discharged in Moose Jaw without a permit, according to city bylaws.
“Leave fireworks to the professionals. Do not use consumer fireworks,” the City of Moose Jaw said on its website.
