EXEMPTION TO CHAPTER 450 (NOISE) - WORLD
PARTNERSHIP WALK
RECOMMENDATION:
That an exemption to Chapter 450 (Noise) of the City of Kitchener Municipal Code be granted to
the Aga Khan Foundation of Canada on Sunday May 29, 2005, between the hours of 11 A.M.
and 3 P.M. to participate in the 2005 World Partnership Walk at the Victoria Park Gazebo.
BACKGROUND:
The Aga Khan Foundation of Canada will be participating in the annual 2005 World Partnership
Walk on Sunday May 29, 2005, and will be utilizing the Victoria Park Gazebo. As part of their
event, there will be music and speeches at the Gazebo. As such, they are requesting an
exemption to Chapter 450 (Noise). A copy of their exemption request is attached.
REPORT:
This event has been held in Victoria Park for several years and the organization has received
previous noise exemptions. The By-law Enforcement Division is not aware of any recent
complaints with regard to the noise. We note that the event takes place during mid-day, as
such the impact on the adjacent neighbourhood is thought to be minimal.

None identified at this time.
COMMUNICATIONS:
No Corporate Communications required.
CONCLUSION:
Based on the circumstances surrounding this event, the By-law Enforcement Division does not
object to this request for an exemption.
