The logistics of the anticipated crowd size will require the reflecting pool to be drained and cleaned for additional audience viewing capacity and safety. An HTO to Go Water Trailer will be available on site at Mel Lastman Square on July 1, 2022. Due to potential high summer temperatures and expected large attendance numbers, the sale and distribution of bottled water is requested to fulfil an anticipated need and demand for various water options on site. On December 1, 2008, City Council ruled that the sale or distribution of bottled water at Civic Centres be prohibited, effective immediately. http://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2008/cc/decisions/2008-12-01-cc27-dd.pdf
