Anyone from port hope

That's right Mark, they also said they would open up the floor for further comments as well when it's back in front of counsel.
One of the individuals that made a presentation last night reminded counsel that the archery season for deer starts Oct 1st and that they would like to see something done about the current 25 acre restriction by then. Counsel agreed to work with the community to resolve any issues.
Counsel is in recess all of August, hence the rush to get something done in September.

From my understanding there was quite the conversation at the meeting that followed. The guy stood up and questioned why burns the counclir did nothing under noise bylaw and that person urged council to fix noise by law first they said it would take to long. Then it was asked again why pick on firearms bylaw and not noise bylaw. I guess it got a little heated. My burns got a little upset and was waving his pen around. One less arrow did you stay for the whe thing. If so can you confirm. As I was told there was no discussion allows other than the speakers

The only legit reason for a bylaw is noise. And I don't think that's even a legit reason.

A bylaw is for nothing more than noise...

Hey, it sounds like Brent....maybe he was at the meeting, he seems fixated on it being a noise issue....LOL...

As far a I could tell only those on the agenda were given time to speak. The two locals that brought forward presentations were visibly upset by the redundant restrictions but conducted themselves in a very professional manner.
The whole procedure was very civil as the mayor acknowledged his appreciation for everyone's patience and understanding.
Once counsel moved to the next item, people got up the leave. It was then that the mayor announced that if people wanted to leave now, they could.
Upon getting up to leave is when the one individual reminded counsel of the archery season on Oct 1st and the current 25 acre restriction. The mayor responded by saying that we have some work to do then. Some comments were exchanged as I walk out, but I didn't hear the comments you referenced and I seen no pen waving. It could've happen after I walk out though.
Everything that was brought forward indicated the origin was indeed a simple noise complaint or disturbance of the peace as one person put it. Despite all the added restriction directed at safety, there was no evidence to support it.
I actually felt for counsel as I sensed a certain level of embarrassment.

Oh ok. No this was at the very end of the night around 930. It was a local upset the way they done things. This guy was the guy that started the whole get hunters together and fight this. He wanted one more crack at them to ask why are you picking on us
