CollingwoodToday welcomes letters to the editor at [email protected]. Please include your daytime phone number and address (for verification of authorship, not publication). The following letter is in response to an article about fireworks in Collingwood, published Feb. 7.

Regarding the fireworks issue: Nobody asked me. Or my husband. Or my daughter, son, daughter-in-law and son-in-law. We all pay property taxes in Collingwood.

Fireworks are very harmful to animals, both domestic and wild. Not good for the environment. A nuisance at best. Tens of thousands of dollars when we have so many unhoused and hungry on our streets? Come on. Ban them.
