There is one Canada Day tradition that will continue on July 1 in Vegreville.

Fireworks. The twist will be a drive-in Fireworks event that will be held at the Vegreville Fair Grounds.

Phil Rowe, Community Services Director for the Town of Vegreville, brought forward the request to council at its legislative committee meeting on June 16.

Rowe said fireworks had been a budgeted item and that he wanted to continue on with the event this year.

Rowe said he has been working with the Vegreville Agricultural Society on the event that would be held at the Fair Grounds. He explained that people would be watching the fireworks from the comfort of their own vehicles.

Coun. Tina Warawa said she would like to see it happen. “I think it’s a relatively safe approach and there would not be a lot of social distancing.

Mayor Tim MacPhee said, “It looks like the fireworks are on!”
