There will be close coordination continuing throughout the Summer.

Noise Mitigation

Venue Design and Layout

  • We worked with sound engineers to inform our design decisions, which include positioning the stage and speakers to direct sound away from residential areas
  • We’ve included design elements such as scaffold and large soil berms to help absorb and deflect sound. 
  • Our stage position is intentionally facing north not to face audio into the neighbourhoods

Sound Level Monitoring and Control

  • We are employing real-time sound monitoring systems at audio locations to ensure compliance
  • We will continue to study sound levels per show to better understand weather and other environmental conditions, so we can adjust accordingly

Scheduling and Time Restrictions

  • All concerts will conclude no later than 11:00 pm (consistent with existing noise bylaws)
  • There will also be no amplified sound prior to 9:00 am

Post-Event Review and Adjustments

After a scheduled performance concludes, a post-event sound assessment will be conducted to identify areas for improvement, which includes preparing a sound log for every show.
