BACKGROUND
Each year, Mosport applies for licences to run their various activities, in accordance with the
municipality's public entertainment by-law.
For the 2003 season, applications have been received for:
. Mosport Speedway - 18 Saturday nights, May 10 through to September 6
. Mosport International Raceway
- Victoria Day Trans Am Event - May 16 - 18
- Cascar Event - June 13 - 16
- Vintage Races - June 27 - 29
- Motorcycle Racing - July 18 - 20
- Grand Prix American Lemans Event - August 14 - 17
The licencing by-law sets out various requirements which must be met prior to licences being
issued. In respect of racing events at Mosport, the by-law requires, in part, that Mosport
provide:
. written evidence from a professional engineer that the maximum level of audible sound
measured at four noise monitoring locations shall not exceed certain levels as outlined
in the by-law; and
. an agreement to save the municipality harmless and indemnify it from any costs,
charges, expenses and liability that it may incur as a result of monitoring of sound
levels, either by municipal employees, contractors or consultants.
For the 2002 season, Mosport was granted an exemption to the requirement of retaining the
services of a sound engineer to provide the evidence that the sound levels will not exceed the
limits set out in the by-law. It is staff's recommendation that this same exemption apply for the
2003 season. Mosport have stated that they will provide the required agreement to cover the
municipality's costs of sound monitoring.
