Fireworks cancelled in Emo, still on in Fort Frances
A forecast calling for strong winds has prompted the cancellation of Canada Day fireworks in Emo.
They were scheduled to be lit from Emo’s waterfront at around dusk.
Environment Canada says winds are reaching 40 km/h, gusting to 60 km/h before diminishing overnight.
A post from the Chapple, Emo and La Vallee Fire and Emergency Services states they will be scheduled to another date.
That date has yet to be selected.
Fireworks planned to be lit from the Seven Oaks area of Point Park in Fort Frances are still on.
A post from the organizing committee states they will go at 10:15 p.m.
