July 4th Fireworks in Kenora?

A decision to bump Kenora’s famous Canada Day fireworks from July 1st to July 4th has caused some controversy.
Some residents are questioning whether Canada Day organizers have forsaken patriotism in the name of a few tourist dollars.
The scheduling change has more to do with economics than declaring any U.S. allegiance.
When the city’s lavish, $25,000 fireworks celebration has landed on a weekday, attendance has been lackluster.
Show organizers say they have to do what they can to draw people into the community, even if it means changing the date.
