"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

No Wonder You Can't get Your MInd Around It..the Fence That is.

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "No Fence Application or Permit granted":

WHY do they need the fence? It must cost a heck of a lot and serves no purpose that I can see besides irritating the neighbours who have to look at the damn thing.
***********
They need the fence to charge $5. admission to get into the park and listen to the music.
They declared  $150. thousand dollars revenue  last year. They gave $6 thousand . to charity. 
Part of the reveune  in 2012 was a grant from Heritage Canada. 
In 2011  the Trillium Foundation found them  deserving  of a generous hand-out. 
They have "hundreds " of volunteers working for nothing  
The  manager and the entertainers  get what's left after they give $6 thousand  to charity
This will be the third year the fence  has been erected around the park. 
The first year, the  festival manager directed  staff  to rent port-a-potties for the children in the water park. 
The public washrooms belonged to festival organisers. 
On account of how much they had not paid.

Me? I would prefer Aurora host one of those Warrior Dash events. Then everyone would be involved. Sick to tears of this bunch and their annual whine.

There has been an accident in the city at a Concert. One fatality so far. What do we know about the Jazz Group's insurance?

Then they are seriously stupid. You can't fence MUSIC in. It is supposed to bring people together.
