Canada Day fireworks have just been cancelled and postponed at these Toronto locations

It doesn’t look like a great start to the long weekend as two Toronto locations have either cancelled or postponed scheduled Canada Day fireworks.

According to a tweet by the City of Toronto, fireworks at Milliken Park have been cancelled.

However, they’re still happening at 10 pm tonight at Ashbridges Bay, Downsview Park, and Mel Lastman Square.

If you were planning to watch the fireworks at Stan Wadlow Park, you might have to wait until tomorrow because the event has been postponed to July 2 at 10 pm.

Happy #CanadaDay, #Toronto! 🍁
