dRale, this was a special event thrown by the BLA (blacklightactivists.ca) at BOA, not a regular thing. Hopefully they'll be able to get this great venue for a BLA party again!
Although I had a great time at this kick-ass Psy party, I do have one big beef with BOA. The fact that they totally disrespect the anti-smoking bylaw. Not only was the downstairs lounge a total smoke fest, once it closed there was smoking all over the main room and they didn't do a thing about it. In fact, when I talked to a couple of the bouncers at the end of the night, it became clear to me that this was fully intentional and that they had no intention of enforcing the bylaw and one bouncer even told me "there's lots of clubs downtown that are non-smoking so why don't you go there?" They didn't even bother opening up the patio to encourage people to go there to smoke. Not only did I start having problems breathing by the end of the night, I came home stinking of smoke, reminiscent of the old days of Toronto clubbing.
I think it's time to test the city's complaint line and see if they'll do anything about this. I waited for years for this bylaw, I'm not going to allow it to be just ignored like that. |
Yeah I have noticed that as well & I am surprised that the bouncer made an ignorant comment like that.I am also a non-smoker & I was smart enough to bring my lil inhaler because I was having a bit of a tough time breathing at one point..hopefully BOA-REDUX will read your concerns & will do something about that...
