The City of Calgary has announced it will be adding a fireworks display to its Canada Day celebrations, a week after claiming it would replace them with a pyrotechnic show.

“We have heard from many Calgarians as well as members of city council that while the pilot program is valued, they would also appreciate an aerial fireworks display to celebrate on July 1,” said City Manager David Duckworth on May 25.
