The special air quality statement says Toronto, Brampton, Mississauga and the surrounding areas could be affected, with the agency warning people with smoke sensitivities to consider taking steps to reduce their exposure. The spokesperson says it’s believed to be the first time an air quality statement has been issued in relation to holiday fireworks, in part because similar atmospheric conditions during last year’s Diwali celebrations led to elevated air quality risks.Article content
Mississauga and Brampton allow some fireworks on private property without a permit on Diwali, but Toronto requires residents to get a permit. Diwali, which is a national holiday across India, marks the Hindu festival that symbolizes the victory of light over darkness. It is typically celebrated by socializing and exchanging gifts with family and friends. Many light earthen oil lamps or candles, and fireworks are set off as part of the celebrations. In the evening, a special prayer is dedicated to the Hindu goddess Lakshmi, who is believed to bring luck and prosperity.
