Are certain groups exempt from City of Winnipeg noise by-laws, 12:50 AM and the music at the Forks is blasting up the river into NK, yet concerts at the stadium must end at 11:00 PM sharp!

I am in Frasers Grove and could hear it almost perfectly. I guess city by-laws don't apply to certain entitled ethnic groups. |

When we have our Blues Fest, you can barely hear it downtown, less than 2000 feet away, but you can hear it so clearly in the north end, two miles away, that people sit on their decks to listen to it. :shrug:
Sound is weird like that. There may be a sound exception for the Forks. My city has one for the area around the airport, you could run an outdoor concert 24/7 in that zone. I think it also applies to rail yards. Not the best places for a concert though. |

maybe the wind direction has something to do with sound being carried from a certain direction.....

City hall needs overhaul Expanding council is a really dumb idea By: Mike O'Shaughnessy Posted: 06/25/2011 1:00 AM ... Is there any good reason to maintain community committees? Community committees were a good idea to smooth the transition from 13 disparate community governments to one centralized government. However, the first unified City of Winnipeg election was 40 years ago this fall and one had to be at least 21 years old to vote in those days. This means those of us who voted for or against any of those 13 governments are in our 60s -- at least. How many of today's young people can define the boundaries between Elmwood and East Kildonan or between East Kildonan and North Kildonan? How many know where St. James leaves off and Assiniboia begins? How many know what a community committee is? How many care? For those who never knew, or have forgotten, community committees are groups of three councillors from bordering wards who get together monthly to hear zoning and related variance applications, to hand out grants and hear from residents who have gripes or ideas about community-wide concerns. The latter almost never happens. ... http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/opi...med=y#comments |

Edmonton Puts Winnipeg Mosquito Numbers To Shame
Edmonton puts Winnipeg mosquito numbers to shame
9:50am Click here to email Brenton Driedger 7/13/2011 You might be fed up with the mosquitoes this summer, but at least they're not as bad as in Winnipeg.Think again. Edmonton's trap count is at 30. At that level, Winnipeg usually starts city-wide fogging. But right now, Winnipeg's trap count is only at six and holding. Edmonton's is expected to climb this week, and the city is only talking about doing "spot spraying" at some festivals....not carpet bombing the city to kill the pests. Some argue that matching trap counts from different cities is like comparing apples and oranges, but both cities do use the same light traps. Even though the mosquitoes seem really bad in Edmonton this summer, at least we're still better off than Winnipeg, right? Wrong. Edmonton's trap count is at 30. At that level, Winnipeg usually starts city-wide fogging. But right now, Winnipeg's trap count is only at six and holding. Edmonton's is expected to climb this week, and the city is only talking about doing "spot spraying" at some festivals, not carpet bombing the city to kill the pests.

We do have it pretty darn good right now. I've been outside a lot building the mother of all garden sheds and all I need is a light squirt of Off in the evening.

Edmonton now mosquito capital of Canada
Global News: Friday, July 15, 2011 7:26 PM Our city has another national title under its belt, but this one isn't one most will be happy to have. Edmonton is now the mosquito capital of Canada, taking the title from Winnipeg. The Manitoba city has held the title for the last several years. Edmonton's mosquito count is now significantly above the Winnipeg count. This week, there were more than 560 mosquitoes per trap in Edmonton, nearly 19 times more than last week, when there were 30. Winnipeg has just six per trap. Edmonton officials say a third round of mosquito control programs is underway, but numbers are still expected to rise. City officials are considering spot spraying festival sites. The city's control budget has been cut by almost $200,000 dollars this year.

I found this nifty little piece of information that I have not seen posted on the boards around here. It's a report from the CIBC regarding Canada's top preforming economies according to city. It looks like our fair city made third place, just behind Toronto and Kitchener. Something to brag about?
