Cariboo Rocks the North, lauded as a great success in the Citizen, was a weekend of insanity for other citizens.
The powers to be at City Hall blessed the event by avoiding the noise bylaw. Most people who live within a four-kilometre radius were forced to stay indoors in order to lessen the impact. Even indoors, the insanity crept into our homes.
I visited the site briefly. In five minutes, my ears were sore. Talking and discussion was not possible, and I suspect there was much damage done for those who stayed, including security staff. Personally, I was bothered by the noise all weekend. I am sure there were many citizens who felt similarly acoustically bombarded.
