Common Sense Calgary’s petition to bring back fireworks on Canada Day received almost 10,000 signatures as of Wednesday.

“Despite launching less than 48 hours ago, on a holiday weekend, more than 5,000 Calgarians have already added their signature,” said Common Sense Calgary in a Tuesday statement.

“Calgarians really are sick of this kind of nonsense at city hall!”

The City of Calgary Thursday cancelled its firework display to mark and celebrate Canada Day.
