It is not clear to what extent it will be visible from La Ronde, though. https://omniumbanquenationale.com/nouvelles/lire/2023/tennis-canada-pr esente-spectacles-drones-montreal-toronto-donner-coup-envoi-obn-2023 They claim to be environmentally friendly by distancing themselves from fireworks, but take the opportunity provided by the fireworks competition to promote the event to the crowd gathering there for the fireworks… Fred |
