The City of Kingston currently has a bylaw on the books that prevents playing street hockey (or any other sport) on any city street. City Council has voted 10-2 to look at amending this bylaw to possibly allow our country\'s favourite pass-time to be played in safe locations such as cul-de-sacs and dead-end\'s. Our fate will be decided on October 9th when they determine what street\'s, if any, should be opened up to allow our children to play. The nay sayers will be out in force so please lend us your support by signing this petition! ***NOTE*** The two city councillors that voted to NOT change this bylaw are listed below. Feel free to email them with your concerns and make your voice be heard! Joyce Macleod-Kane [email protected] Dorothy Hector [email protected] Please forward this to anyone you know who thinks the bylaw should be changed so the kids can play!

I was just checking the count and we are almost at five hundred which is wild because I honestly thought this would be a niche thing when I started it. If we can get a bit more momentum right now maybe the council will actually see that we are not going anywhere and stop hiding behind these outdated rules.

I really thought this might just fizzle out but seeing all these people backing the idea of kids actually playing outside is honestly kind of overwhelming. It feels like the tide is finally turning and those council members might actually have to pay attention to us now.

My son is begging to play with the neighbors. Why stop them from getting exercise?

Kids barely go outside anymore. Let them play hockey on the street its not like cars are flying down cul-de-sacs anyway.

Total nonsense. I grew up playing road hockey every single day and turned out fine. Get with the times.
