Canada Day Fireworks & Drone Display – Y’eh or N’eh?
*Please see below a news release issued by the City of Burlington.
Burlington, Ont. — July 2, 2024 — The City of Burlington is looking for feedback on the use of drone and firework displays for Canada Day through an online survey at getinvolvedburlington.ca/dronesurvey. The survey is open now until July 9.
This year was the first time the City has used a drone display as part of the Canada Day festivities. The drone display was done before the traditional fireworks display.
The feedback gathered from the survey will be used to evaluate the two displays' effectiveness and measure residents’ desire to expand the use of drones or continue with a traditional fireworks display in future years.
A report to Council was submitted March 4. A follow-up report will be going to Council with a recommendation on future use of drones and fireworks in the fall.
To take the survey, visit getinvolvedburlington.ca/dronesurveyBurlington is a city where people, nature and business thrive. Sign up to learn more about Burlington at burlington.ca/subscribe and follow @CityBurlington on social media.
"We would like to hear what people thought of the drone display and how they feel about fireworks. Drones offer a different yet exciting experience, but we understand many people still prefer traditional fireworks. Should we combine drones and fireworks again, or choose just one? That’s what we need to hear from residents."
— Angela Paprizo, Manager of Arts & Culture, City of Burlington
