There's nothing stopping you from enjoying a brilliant fireworks display by the lake this Canada Day long weekend - as long as it's not you that's setting the devices off.

The city is putting on its annual display of dazzling lights at Ashbridge's Bay in the Beach Sunday night. Authorities insist those are the only fireworks that'll be going off there - all others are banned from the park for public safety reasons.

"The crowds are just simply too large and too dense to allow the use of personal fireworks," notes Const. Ian Kennedy of Toronto Police. "Anybody found with fireworks will have the fireworks confiscated and could be subject to a fine of $300."

Fireworks have become a concern for police in recent years - as teens have been turning the devices into weapons and shooting them at each other, raising the potential to do serious harm.

Such incidents have occurred the past three Victoria Day weekends, and cops don't want to see a repeat offense this July 1st holiday.

Some city councillors even want to see limitations on how many fireworks people can buy. "We're hoping that corner stores can clamp down on the sale of Roman candles in bulk, especially to minors," notes Coun. Adam Vaughan.

Roman candles cost about a dollar each, but being hit by one of them can do serious harm. One store owner thinks that limiting the quantity people can buy won't help. "They'll do it whether they buy one or 100," contends Kurt Perron of Amazing Party Store.

Fireworks vendors only have a week to sell the devices leading up to Canada Day.
