Alberta studies fireworks controls after deadly Victoria Day weekend
Edmonton reports that Alberta may consider provincial rules governing fireworks following the deaths of two St Albert youths and severe burns to three others when firecrackers were tossed on a tent. Labor Minister Bert Hohel says current law lacks provincial firework control and may involve municipal bylaws, national fire code regulation, or federal consumer rules as options. The move follows a decade of assessed losses and calls for public safety action.
