As the city filed it
Street festivals help to create a healthy and vibrant aspect of summer life in Toronto, bringing together neighbours, people from across the City and visitors onto our main streets to celebrate what makes our City a great place to live, work and play. A number of Business Improvement Areas have expressed concerns with respect to the rising costs of providing paid duty officers at street festivals, putting into question the viability of some of these summer events.

The paid duty requirements for each street festival depend on the nature of the event and are usually at the discretion of Toronto Police. This Motion seeks to request the City Manager to meet with the Chief of Police to discuss the challenges faced by Business Improvement Areas in organizing street festivals and to seek possible solutions and strategies to reduce the burden of policing costs while still ensuring public safety.
