2. Tap the NFC icon located at the bottom of the poster to prompt the portal to open. (NFC capabilities must be turned on in your mobile settings).
3. Scan the QR code located in the poster's instructions and point your camera at the target image.
It's that simple!

 

100th Anniversary Fireworks - December 5, 2020

Fireworks

At 7:00 PM immediately following the 100th Anniversary Special, Rogers will be airing the fireworks show from Victoria Park live to enjoy from the comfort of your living room!

Due to gathering restrictions, and the large fireworks safety fall-out zone, people wishing to watch the fireworks in person will not be permitted at Victoria Park or the Julie McArthur Regional Recreation Centre. Instead, the City has outlined alternative locations where the fireworks should be visible.

Fireworks can be viewed from any of the below locations, or the comfort of your own home!
