Planning on celebrating the upcoming Habs games? You might want to get familiar with Montreal's public safety regulations first.
The Montreal Police (SPVM) issued a press release reminding fans that all forms of pyrotechnics are strictly prohibited at public gatherings. This includes the massive Canadiens playoff watch parties outside the Bell Centre.
The SPVM stated they will enforce this bylaw with zero tolerance. Anyone caught possessing, using, or setting off pyrotechnic devices at a public gathering could face hefty fines ranging from $500 to $5,000.
