I received a copy of the jazz festival permit application .Noticed a page of information.Thought it would copy and paste but it wouldn't.
So read it again,,,carefully.
The applicant is Sher St Kitts, Chair of Aurora Festival of the Arts
#1824708.
c/o Susan Morton Leonard. address Aurora.
Place for signature is Sher St. Kitts
Nowhere, in all the documentation, is there any mention of a fence being permitted by the Director as required by the Town of Aurora Parks Bylaw.
Neither is there reference to vendors being permitted by the town in the town park during the event.

"Cowardice asks the question...is it safe? Expediency asks the question...is it politic? Vanity asks the question...is it popular? But conscience asks the question...is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but one must take it because it is right." ~Dr. Martin Luther King

The fence is on the agenda but Matt was correct. We did not get here by being thugs.
I have never seen a permit application for any town facility, including a park, or a part thereof, for a jazz festival or any other kind of festival.
So I don't know what should or should not be mentioned as a condition or a restriction.
It seems to me that if LCBO regulations require that a beer garden area be fenced, and if a beer garden is an integral part of this event, then only the beer garden should be fenced.
Vendors plying their trade are required to get a permit from the town and so they should, individually, not through the festival itself that has no interest in vendor sales, unless they get an over-riding commission, which they shouldn't be allowed to have.
The festival should makes its money through the sale of tickets and nothing else. Have they charged in the past for access to and use of public toilets?
On another point, slightly tangential, each one of us can be considered to be a capital asset. We require maintenance and depending on how we are used some of us fall apart sooner than others.
If the town had no capital assets there would be virtually no maintenance cost.
But then, the town wouldn't amount of a damn thing.
We need buildings and playing fields and roads and water systems. All come with a capital cost, are subject to annual maintenance and are depreciated over the useful life of the item.
This is where we need some sound consideration from residents as well as elected politicians. On what capital item(s) should taxpayer money be invested and what will be the benefit, for how long, and at what annual cost?
Everything else is a smoke-screen.
Does the permit say anything that fences are NOT permitted?
