According to the city, the vendor providing the pyrotechnics for Ashbridges Bay Park, Stan Wadlow Park and Milliken Park informed officials on Thursday they “did not intend to fulfill its contractual obligation to perform fireworks displays.”’
“The City was able to secure the services of a new vendor to allow the Ashbridges Bay fireworks display to continue this evening. The vendor was also able to commit to a fireworks display on July 2 for Stan Wadlow Park.” City officials said they have used the vendor, who they identified as David Whysall International Fireworks Inc., multiple times, including for the Victoria Day weekend. They say that staff were in contact with the company as recently as June 20 to confirm details for the Canada Day fireworks.
Fireworks at Ashbridges Bay Park, Mel Lastman Square and Downsview Park will continue as planned tonight at 10 p.m.
What?
You should have let listened to News Talk 1010 Thursday morning on the John Moore show he had an expert on that said fireworks don’t harm pets. She said that pet react to fire works then it’s poor training on the part of owners. It is like Thunder same training principles apply.
Scarborough misses out😭
That's because Tory is disrespectful to others thinks he knows everything typical politician
We're done celebrating the colonizers.
Everyone thinks electric cars are the answer. Lets see if they feel the same way in 5 or 6 years when batteries and other components begin to fail. Probably cost more to fix then the car is worth. Wake up people. They may have there place but not across the board.
When we pay 1500$ to rent the basement firework is a big show off 😄😄😄
Seems like they didn't know what they were doing at Ashbridges Bay
What ever!!! I just came back from Downsview park, where Fireworks where AMAZING!!! Thank you!!! Everyone was so happy to be there!!!
David Whysall International Fireworks Inc., who cancelled Toronto contract 24 hours before show time, asks: “shouldn't you be using the most reliable fireworks company in Canada for your event?” Not u! JohnTory fordnation JustinTrudeau cityoftoronto

Why not Scarborough? Because it is a forgotten city in Canada?
Your dad should of pulled out last minute
Wow ! Really? Ok ? Happy Canada Day !
Good! The kids with autism and dogs and wild animal will thank him.
😡
So glad it’s cancelled.
Wow it s fire worksnot buring ild tires . What s wrong with people give your heada a shake really wow
So how about we think of Canada Day as a way of celebrating living in this country with all its benefits and beautiful landscape no matter what your history or even the country’s history. It’s one day out of a whole year for everyone to spend together with family and friends.
My
Dumb as they come
cityoftoronto when you don't pay an invoice -- intentionally or through carelessness -- that business has every right to stop doing business with you. IMHO.
happy stolen land day!!
No better than retired seniors living on OAS!
The vendor should have licence revoked and band forever doing shows in Ontario for life
Come to Georgina! We have fireworks tonight 🎆🇨🇦
Be happy to be living in Canada, we have many great things to look forward to in this Beautiful Nation. I'm thankful to this nation because I breathe air from this nation, I eat the food from this nation and i was born and raised in this nation
Not people having problems with fireworks now.
Typical Toronto Council. Toronto Benefits. Scarborough gets the shaft.
aka Canada day being cancelled.
If Canada is honest about its effort for truth and reconciliation they should cancel Canada day considering how Canada was established at the expense of Indigenous populations by stealing their land, exploiting their resources, and ethnically cleansing them.
Great now Mayne less cops will be injured and less robberies, shootings and stabbings will happen.
,
My pull out game is weak
Is there a way to do holographic fireworks? There should be something in this day and age where we can project amazing firework shows to music instead of the actual explosives used. IMO.
I always thought pulling out at the last minute was a good thing
Yup Scarborough gets screwed again.
Good. Do you know how dangerous and disruptive these stupid fireworks are. Are humans really that stupid as a species that they have to sit there going “ouuuuuuu look at the pretty lights” 🤪 BAN THEM.
Like many things these days there's a shortage of fireworks due to supply chain issues and prices have gone way up. Or maybe his suppliers have him on credit hold. There's many potential reasons why the vendor bailed, but all related to $$$$
🤣🤣🤣 must have been that 2.5% rent increase
Pull out game was strong with them
No
I know!! Isn't it great news? Fireworks contaminate the environment and affect our health and animals behavior. So happy 😊
That’s very sad cityoftoronto We were so excited to see the fireworks
l dont give a 💩
It was probably because of the cost of fuel and climate change.
Wondering if thunderstorms are going to cancel all the fireworks anyway.
The vendor's name is David Whysall International Fireworks Inc.. Apparently they 'did not have the resources' to pull this out.
this vendor and I have something in common
Let's just celebrate July 4th because at least they Americans don't answer to the 🇬🇧 loyals.🇨🇦 is a British colony so we are NOT officially independent like Barbados. Queen is on 🇨🇦 money, hence why she has an appointed representative overseeing 🇨🇦affairs. Someday 🇨🇦 will be free
Can we please get the name of the vendor so I can see the Google review left by the city of Toronto?
What is a vendor?
why is mainstream media not covering the massacre of 1000s of African men at the Spain Border!🤔
Barangay. barangay
Cancel Canada Day! Wear Orange!!!!
Looks to be someone swiped the money to perform the show in the last minutes…corruptivity
Fireworks are completely unnecessary and very harmful to animals, humans, our health, and the environment. This is welcome news for sure.
Did any of you READ the article or are you just jumping to conclusions?
Don't worry, it will all be canceled today due to the rain.
Third world country
Half of Scarborough don’t give a F anyways , they will be pissed if Diwali or Eid fireworks is canceled
Did he pull out at the last minute because of roe v wad being overturned
🦅
Forst Ford cancels CD at QP now Toronto wow. What are we doing. Not Celebrating our Nations Birthday.
'Toronto cancels one Canada Day fireworks show after vendor pulls out last minute' Vendor should be fined! .
That’s when you’re supposed to pull out isn’t it?
Scarborough, always getting the short stick.
Less pollution…
Cancel the fireworks for the kids but you still have that stupid assadine gay pride parade going through downtown Toronto that wouldn't get canceled but canceled fireworks the kids love how disgusting the mayor of Toronto is you can still put the fireworks on
This tweet is only 10 minutes old and so many stupid comments already 😂
I’m sure the dogs in the area will sleep better tonight
Third world city
