The City of Pembroke has a new date for their fire works show that was originally planned for Canada Day. City staff decided to postpone the fire works simply due to the fire ban in place over the long weekend. Pembroke will now be holding their display at Riverside Park on Saturday, August 5th of the Civic Holiday weekend, hosted by the Pembroke Professional Firefighters’ Association.
Funding for the fireworks had been allocated in the 2023 Parks & Recreation Department’s operational budget. The department was also successful in securing $12,000.00 in federal funding from the Celebrate Canada Grant.
