Been following Dave and his videos for awhile along with this site. I am one of the the few certified display fireworks supervisors in northwest BC (Prince Rupert), mostly doing barge shows, but once a year we do a show on the local golf course.

Happy to be here.

Robyn.

Welcome to the forums. I welcome people from all over the world to join. Let me post a map so everyone can see where Prince Rupert Canada is.
Look to the left of this map.
I am curious are Gorilla Consumer Fireworks from Alaska making their way into your area?

Thanks everyone. In Prince Rupert consumer fireworks are actually banned, has been that way for almost 20 years now. It's a local thing, so of corse you can just drive an hour-and-half up the highway to buy some. Majestic Fireworks (supplier os Starlight FX out of Prince George 8 hours away) is my main supplier. Planning my July 1st show right now, always a tricky one here as it is light out till 11:00pm or so.

Rupertpyro are you able to tell us what city in Canada you display will be. When you said, “light out until 11pm” I assume you meant the sun does not go down until very late in the day. This is definitely on of the downsides of too much sunlight in the day.
