Hey YQR Twitter gang… I've been working on a piece about the Farmers Mkt & Folk Fest being displaced downtown for pdog. There've been some stories on social media that aren't accurate so I'm sharing what I know for sure now instead of holding on until the next issue /1 #yqrcc
First, the Plaza is not being closed to be used for storage of equipment. Second, the Plaza is not being turned into a parking lot. /2 #yqrcc
The situation is more complex. There is a lot of construction downtown this year that will impact the Mrkt & Fest.
• 11th Ave work starting
• Harvard will be taking down Burns Hanley
• Sask Power is doing underground work on Plaza /3 #yqrcc

Some key context for the bylaw on conversion therapy. There's not going to be any real debate/presentations on the topic. If there are it won't be anything like in previous council meetings.

The topic is likely going to be an up and down vote.
