Another long weekend is upon us and, for many, fireworks will feature prominently this Canada Day.
Pyrotechnic displays have been around in this country for as long as we have been a nation. On July 1, 1867, there were fireworks, military displays and cathedral bells ringing to celebrate Confederation. The following year, Governor General Lord Monck signed a proclamation requesting all citizens across Canada to celebrate July 1. Then, in 1879, July 1 became a statutory holiday known as Dominion Day, before officially becoming Canada Day in 1982.
While fireworks are fun, they can also be dangerous. Thousands of people are treated for burns to the head, face, eyes, ears, arms, hands and legs each year and property damage is also a danger. For more, click here.
