Calgary Stampede Noise Rules in Hot Debate
from Vancouver News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Calgary’s city council is facing heated debate over new noise rules for Stampede music tents, which require weeknight shows to end by midnight and limit bass levels — a move sparked by over 200 noise complaints last year, mostly from the Cowboys Music Festival. Festival organizers say the rules create chaos and threaten their business, while city officials defend them as necessary to balance big events with downtown residents’ quality of life. Even Alberta’s Premier and the Conservative Party leader have weighed in, urging more consultation. Tourism Calgary and Project Calgary — which found Calgary’s past rules were among the most lenient in North America — are calling for pause and dialogue. With the Stampede just around the corner, the council must decide: keep the party loud or dial it down for peace. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
