Let's end musicians getting penalized for trying to do their jobs. Please and thanks

A city without live music would be pretty boring. Cities need to do better and allow some exceptions!

Ridiculous and unacceptable that musicians are expected to navigate this nonsense just to play a gig. They bring this city to life and they’re already not being paid enough. Do better, Ottawa.

We must have support from the city to load in our music equipment when providing entertainment for the city

Are they ticketing FedEx, Canada Post, UPS drivers too??? Not likely. We load in for max 5 minutes and then are off. Bleeding the people of this city dry with BS tickets on the regular has got to stop. We're trying to help people ring in the weekend and forget about their woes. Don't add to ours!

We have thousands of dollars of equipment that we cannot leave unattended in our cars for any amount of time in many areas of the city without running the risk of it getting stolen.

Music is healthy for mind and well being.

Bylaw's consistent attacking of musician's livelihood and ability to exist in the city is a great contributor to Ottawa's reputation as the city fun forgot. Culture in the city is actively suppressed by their presence.

Ive gotten ticket while loadin/ unloading while someone was actually in the car. I couldn’t believe it. We’re just trying to do our jobs

Maybe the new "Nightmayor" could be of assistance. Load in to Atomic Rooster on Bank St. can be tricky.

Ottawa needs better loading zones for artists.
