Mississauga Launches Online Fireworks Complaint Form

Here at Modern Mississauga Media, we get several questions about fireworks, specifically about where and when it’s allowed.

And since Mississauga residents have mixed feelings on fireworks, where wome want them to shine bright and others want them to fizzle out, the City of Mississauga has now provided a way to tell them about improper usage.

Currently, Mississauga permits fireworks at home on the following holidays, on the day of the holiday itself (one day only) up until midnight:

Victoria Day
Canada Day
Lunar New Year
Diwali

In 2022, the City received approximately 300 complaints about fireworks. Supplementing the Fireworks By-law, the City has introduced a new Online Fireworks Complaint form and will enhance staff presence over the upcoming 2023 Victoria Day weekend.
Click here for the form.

This allows residents to file a complaint online through the City’s website and report fireworks misuse at any time. Once submitted, the City’s enforcement staff will respond, if necessary and may include an onsite investigation.

Residents can also contact the City about fireworks via 311 (905-615-4311 outside city limits) for fireworks on private property or improper sale of fireworks.

For fireworks in City parks or schools, call the Facility Watch Program at 905-615-4060

For all other fireworks enquiries, residents can call Mississauga Fire and Emergency Services’ non-emergency line at 905-456-5700

Check the Mississauga Fireworks By-law before celebrating an occasion with fireworks, and ensure they comply.

Will you be telling the city via email or phone about the misuse of fireworks?
