Fireworks
Over the years, concerns have been expressed at various AGMs about fireworks at the lake. As with many things, there are those who enjoy, those who don't, and many in between. Along with the spectacular visual displays, there are noise and chemical polluting effects to consider, and possible fire risks. Our townships do not allow fireworks during a fire ban, and flying fire lanterns are prohibited at all times. Comments to info@buckshotlakeassociation.com are welcome.
