Another petition - support the Rio! http://ping.fm/WgePw
Staff at the City of Vancouver’s Cultural Services are proposing two bylaw changes which should improve things for those of us struggling with legal issues in the arts. Yay!!! They’re looking for feedback from the public, so let’s give it to them.
The first amendment is to allow spaces that aren’t approved venues to legally host two special events per month. While we think this is a fantastic step, we feel that the two-per-month limit is a bit low. Safe Amp is recommending ‘Support With Modifications,’ namely that the two-per-month limit be removed or greatly increased. Read more and fill out the feedback form here: http://vancouver.ca/commsvcs/CBOFFICIAL/vbbl/2012/round2/general/B101.htm
The other amendment is to get rid of a rule that requires any liquor-serving establishment to double its exits or cut its capacity in half. Safe Amp is recommending unconditional support.
