If you plan to use your own fireworks, remember they are only permitted on Friday, July 1 on private property from dusk until 11 p.m. Be safe, responsible, and considerate of your neighbours.

Parks, Trails, Splash Pads and Outdoor Recreation Facilities

The Town’s splash pads, parks, trails and many other outdoor recreation facilities are open. When visiting please do your part to keep these spaces clean - pick up after pets and use garbage cans, or take waste home with you. If you are planning on having a BBQ in the park during the long weekend, remember barbecue use is only allowed in rentable picnic areas and shelters when you have a facility rental permit. Be sure to book before you arrive. For a complete list of outdoor amenities available to enjoy this Canada Day, visit whitby.ca/parks.
