Pierre Royer, Site Supervisor said that the task is a long and arduous one.
“It takes a crew of four to six people to assemble the mortar racks. And then it takes a significant amount of time to load them with the pyrotechnics, the fireworks,” said Royer, taking a break from hammering nails into the racks.
The crew worked hard beginning at noon on Canada Day, putting the racks together with the mortar tubes and getting everything in order.
Scattered around the site at Point Frederick were boxes upon boxes of firework shells.
Royer says that his favourites are the ones that make the loudest noises.
“I always build the finale first, so I take all the best shots that are in the boxes, all the best pieces of fireworks, and I save them and put them aside because I will fire them last,” he said.
