I live near by Woodbine park and have absolutely no problem with AfroFest and the other festivals held at Woodbine Park.

Why is this festival being treated so differently from all the other events held at Woodbine Park?

It would be a shame to close a culturally rich event that is an asset to the city of Toronto. Please reconsider your decision.

I have been attending this event since it's inspection and there has never been any problems at it. The two days are needed to accommodate all the people that attend. Please do not change it. It always respects the closing on time so why change.

This is not right or just to do this. As was stated in an article I read, it's the same company which deals with various musical happenings at that location that deals with Afrofest, and there is no problems, so what is the true issue here. Please stop maki g excuses and say what the real reason is for cancelling 1 day.

The City of Toronto needs to practice the multiculturalism we preach. Afrofest is not only a vibrant cultural event, it brings in tourism dollars to the City. City officials pay a visit to the event and feel the vibe. Leave Afrofest alone.

I believe this is a discriminatory action from counsel Mary Margaret McMahon. How about Jazz Festival runs for 1 month, and others events that go this neighboring don't they make noise?! Anything about blacks becomes always problems. We all pay taxes in this city and we are citizens of Toronto, we cannot always be treated in such way. This is our city and we have to make it livable as other communities do too. We need Afrofest back to 2 days. Thanks

Of all festivals to crack down on, why choose this one? People complaining about sound in the summer in this city is ridiculous... You live in a major, vibrant, bustling metropolis... Not some quaint small town.

This is a time when I am able to share the different types of African culture to my grandchildren. Over the years this has been an educational tool for myself and other members of my family and friends, Please keep this festival on for 2 days.

Afrofest is one of the few cultural celebrations our community has in this city. The City needs to re look at the noise issue and find an alternate response that can accomodate everyone's needs.
