Canada Day fireworks display cancelled Plans by the Penetanguishene Rotary Club to hold the second an- nual Canada Fireworks Display at the Scott Street Park in the Town have fallen by the wayside. According to Rotary member Pat Marion, three main factors were in- strumental in the organiza- tion's decision to cancel the event that was schedul- ed for July 1. With increases in the cost of fireworks, liability insurance and deductibles by $5,000 along with a lack of funding from the Canada Day Committee the club is looking at a possible loss of over $4,500 with a fireworks display. Marion said the Rotary had applied for a $3,000 grant from the Canada Day Committee, but the local group were allotted only half of their request as a result of Federal budget cuts. The member added the group was hoping to make other plans for the July 1st holiday, but it's really too late to get anything off the ground with the statutory holiday being next week.
