Ever been on one of those party boats? You know, the ones that leave from the various piers (most notably around the Queens Quay Terminal. We've been on one of those party cruises that serves you food and drink and make you dance your way around the lake as the boat goes around Toronto Islands and slowly (very slowly) makes its way back to harbour.
Apparently, they're also the cause of some noise complaints. This is from Councillor Adam Vaughan's recent newsletter:
After a noisy summer of party boats in the inner harbour, the Toronto Island Noise Committee has collected complaints from a number of Island and land-side residents, and has asked the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) and Municipal Licensing and Standards for charges against four boats. The AGCO has spoken with the operators.
Noise enforcement is complaint driven and enforcement cannot move forward without residents submitting their complaints.
During the winter months boats are confined by federal regulation to the inner harbour. If
you are disturbed by noise, please register your complaint through the York Quay
Neighbourhood Association website at www.yqna.caM.. If you are unable to see the name of the boat, please provide as much detail as possible in your report description.
