Drivers are not allowed to stop on any city bridge to watch the fireworks because doing so poses a risk to their safety and impedes the flow of traffic.
A reminder that the event is alcohol-free and those watching the fireworks from their boats are encouraged to take advantage of the Park Board's free pump-out services at Burrard and Heather Civic Marinas.
Calling all boaters! If you are watching @CelebofLight tonight from the water, PLEASE do your part to keep our waters CLEAN. We offer free 24/7 pump outs ? at Burrard & Heather Marinas or via mobile pump out service. Learn more: https://t.co/mwUv9iv2H4 #PumpDontDump pic.twitter.com/SzjjbWL6eg
