I have recieved a response
"Thank you for your e-mail. It has been received in the Office of Mayor Miller.
In response to your comments, the decision to revoke the Docks’ liquor license was made by the provincial Alcohol and Gaming Commission and NOT by the city.
The Commission’s decision was theirs alone based on the evidence before them. The decision does not mean the club will have to close and the owners may appeal the Commission’s decision to the courts.
The mayor believes that the city has an obligation to enforce noise bylaws no matter where the offence takes place. It doesn’t matter if it’s a nightclub downtown or a neighbourhood bar in Scarborough or a corner pub in East York. Noise is one of the most frequent complaints made to the city. Businesses have to follow the rules of their license.
The city worked for a very long time with the owners of the Docks to find appropriate remedies but they were either unwilling or unable to meet their obligations.
Again, thank you for your e-mail.
Karen Duffy
Office of Mayor Miller"

gotta love the canned response.
You should send a letter regarding something else, and see if you get the same reply for that one as well.

Basically i sent a response back - paraphrased:
This is all well and good but what about events such as Pride, Caribana, Outdoor Concerts, Street Festivals etc. that violate noise bylaws? Just Curious? I feel that there has been a huge effort on pushing clubs, bars and restuarants out of business which will eventually hurt our community.
