All residents of Lac Le Jeune were invited to attend the private music festival tonight. Following the original notice about the concert there was a brief flurry of email from residents. Some individuals were opposed to the idea, citing possible violation of criminal code. Others stepped forward to add their vote of approval, emphasizing that live music in our community is not an everyday event and, furthermore, we were given plenty of notice.
As of 9am today, the results of the public poll show support for the outdoor music concert, with 76% in favour or indifferent, and 22% opposed:
How do you feel about an annual, evening, outdoor music concert hosted at a LLJ residence?
- I like it 38 (57%)
- I don't like it 15 (22%)
- Doesn't matter to me 13 (19%)
Votes so far: 66
Unfortunately, it's impossible for everyone to be happy with the outcome. Nevertheless, it has been useful to openly discuss issues that are important to us in our community.

"we were given plenty of notice"
And what is that supposed to mean?
@anonymous I interpret it to mean that we were advised by email well in advance that the concert would take place July 10, and that scheduled noise is much more acceptable than unexpected noise.
p.s. A blog tip: For those who don't have Google accounts you can add your name to a comment by selecting 'Name' from the pull-down menu. Using 'anonymous' is fine too if that's what you prefer.
What gets me is that some people in our community are so selfish that they would want to deny their neighbours one evening of fun and enjoyment. It's not a week of noise, or a day of noise, it's one evening, once a year.
Provincial Park camper
Music was not offensive, but sure was LOUD.....Amps where vibrating trees in the park across the lake......next time, post a notice in the park as well, so campers don't think it is just a wild bash happening!!
Good idea to post a notice in the park next time!
