Following in the footsteps of many other events in 2020, the planned fireworks show for December 31 has been called off.

The show was on-track until earlier this month and the announcement of new COVID-19 restrictions in the province. Officials believed it best to take the year off to discourage any social gatherings around town to watch.

This announcement comes in the wake of other communities such as Calgary and Airdrie shutting-down their year-end fireworks shows.
