In the past with the operation of a midway at this site, concerns were raised by an area resident
regarding the music, and in consideration of this concern, Council has required the music to be
turned off at 8:00 p.m. on the evenings preceding school days and to be turned down at 8:00
p.m on all other nights. It should be noted that Ms. Homeniuk's request does not comply with
past Council direction.
A noise complaint was received by the City's By-law Enforcement Office on October 5, 2008
regarding the midway. An officer was dispatched, but when the officer arrived there was no
evidence of loud music from the midway.
As directed in the by-law the Regional Health Unit and the City's Traffic Division have been
advised of this request.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
None
COMMUNICATIONS:
Ms. Homeniuk has been supplied with the mailing labels to enable her to contact the area
residents.
