A fireworks bylaw exception could be given in Stratford for celebrating Diwali in the future.
At Tuesdays meeting, councilor Harjnder Nijjar brought forward the motion related to the Diwali celebration who says he received many questions about fireworks for the celebration.
Nijjar spoke to council saying its a very important day for the Indian community symbolizing the spiritual victory of light over dark, knowledge over ignorance and good over evil.
Currently the bylaw is given exception only for Victoria Day and Canada Day.
While no approval was given, it’s been something staff said they would be pleased to bring forward again at the appropriate time.
