The prohibited moved comes as theĀ RDEK is not able to regulate the use of fireworks in the same way that a municipality can.
The use of fireworks in rural areas is under the province’s jurisdiction and they are prohibited anytime there is a Category 2 open burning ban in place.
The ban on sales applies to any person or business within rural Electoral Areas A, B, C, E, F and G.
