North Star's breadth of experience over 12 years comes from its crews of pyro-technicians led, by company owners Jeff Clarmo and Ken Leavoy. During the years every possible weather condition, from 35 degree sweltering heat, at the Molson Fireworks Competition in Quebec, to a frigid below 0 plus wind chill at Winterlude in Ottawa, to constant rain all day, every day firing beside the Horseshoe Falls at Niagara - we've seen and dealt with it all.

Our experiences have taken us on various barge shows, rooftop locations and islands shoots. We have done shows with large caliber shells on multi firing sites, to small intimate locations were only a combination of mid and low level effects would safely and effectively be used. We've done indoor fireworks and air show pyrotechnics, electrically choreographed musical shows and hand fires. Our show budgets range from $100,000 to shows costing $1,000 dollars.

The end result of our work history, is a company that is able to deliver a high quality show, even in the most diverse situations. However there is a fine line between safety and the attitude that dictates that the "show must go on!!". After all aspects have been considered, the show sometimes can't go on. When the wind is too high or threatening the crowd, the only choice is to postpone the event, regardless of how disappointing it may be. This is a choice that only comes with experience.

Being able to make the right choices, is why North Star has been a fixture in so many communities for so many years. Event organizers know that fireworks are one portion of their busy agenda that they do not have to worry about, because Jeff and his crews will get the job done.
