The City of Courtney and the Courtenay Fire Department are reminding residents about fireworks use with Halloween less than a week away.

They are reminding residents that fireworks are restricted within city limits.

Anyone selling or discharging fireworks in violation of Courtenay’s bylaws could be subject to fines.

For those residing outside the City of Courtenay, but within one of Courtenay’s Fire Protection Districts, fireworks are regulated by the Comox Valley Regional District - and you do need permits to light anything off. It’s the same story for Campbell River.

Anyone selling or discharging fireworks in violation of Courtenay’s bylaws could be subject to fines.
