The City of Saint John wishes to inform residents that, in light of the province-wide fire burn ban currently in effect, the New Brunswick Day weekend fireworks scheduled for tomorrow night, Sunday, August 3, have been cancelled.

We understand how disappointing this news may be for those who were looking forward to the celebration. The decision was made out of an abundance of caution and with public safety top of mind.

We appreciate your understanding and encourage everyone to continue enjoying the weekend safely. For the most up-to-date information on the provincial burn ban, please visit: New Brunswick Fire Watch.
