AGCO DECISION PRESS RELEASE – ISSUED BY THE DOCKS SOLICITOR: NICK MACOS
JULY 24, 2006
Today after a delay of nine months, the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario determined that the business the Docks conducts is not in the public interest having regard to the needs and wishes of the residents of the City of Toronto . In coming to this decision the AGCO took a narrow view of the public interest as being represented by the needs and wishes of the Toronto Islands residential community. There was no finding of misconduct by the Docks, rather that it is well managed.
The Docks takes a broader view of its role in the community as is apparent by the considerable number of City residents, tourists and corporations that have enjoyed what the Docks has to offer over the past 11 years. We encourage those who support and enjoy the Docks to make their views known to Mayor Miller and their councillors. This is more than a local issue.
The Docks believes that actions of the City and the AGCO serve a very small interest group. The AGCO decision is the direct result of the actions of only Councillors McConnell and Fletcher. It is this narrow view that now hinders development on the Waterfront.
The Docks will be appealing and seeking a stay of the decision of the AGCO to permit it to stay open until the appeal. It will remain open until the Courts make a decision on the appeal. If unsuccessful then over 350 employees will be out of work. We believe that the actions of the City and the AGCO will detrimentally impact the waterfront. Is this in the public interest?

And the city wonders why tourists dont come anymore.
I wonder why when they keep shutting down all the venues that tourists use. Combine that with panhandlers and parking rates that have gone up exponentially in the last 5 years and you have your answer.
Too bad most people cant see the forest for the trees. |

They should be forced to move off the island.
I honestly just don't get it and it will always be the same arguement over and over again and everyone will always keep posting the same comments with every thread that is opened like this.
Are we hurting these ppl in any way, shape or form? NO.
But I guess there are just some ppl out there in life that if they aren't bitching about one thing or another, they just aren't ing happy. Well all I have to say is it is annoying as . |

this just falls in line with the same thinking of all the other bans out there.
From smoking, to pesticides, to pitbulls... the government is telling you how to live based on complaints from others.
So next time you complain or agree with a ban, think about it rom the other point of view. Because every ban is also somebody's "docks" |
