I think it's ridiculous to ban firepits because a handful of people have complained. I'm very allergic to grass, yet you don't see me trying to ban other people from mowing the lawn! N2E 1E1

N2G1M9. What bothers me more than anything that policy and by-laws can be set by less than 100 emails.I have lived in K=W for over 50 years and have never heard or encountered a problem with backyard fires until now.

Keep the home firepits

I haven't had a fire in my backyard for over 5 years, but very strongly disagree that the current bylaws should change.

Allowing Kitchener residences to have the freedom of having a nice Bon fire with their families, will make for happier citizens.

Safety is one thing, but this seems like a money grab for the city, awful. N2E 4B4

Back off, City.

Please allow the residences of Kitchener the freedom to have a bon fire in their backyard.

Hi There,
My child who is 10 years old was looking foward to an end of the year party ending with a campfire. Now, the mother emailed me to say we can not have it. Thanks so much for letting him down!

Don't make Waterloo's restrictive by-laws, our by-laws. There are so many reasons that Kitchener is better than Waterloo and the ability to have fire pits is one of them.

I think maybe it is a good idea for the by-law officers to crack down on the offenders, and leave the quiet ones to enjoy their little fires.

How is paying for a permit addressing the complaints? Easy answer, it doesn't. It's an excuse to put a tax on already taxed land if we want to enjoy our backyard fireplace.

I agree, 80 complaints and the whole city suffers-this is SO wrong!!

Definately a knee jerk move and not acceptable. We who are responsible are unfairly being treated guilty for the inconsiderate few!! Punish them individually! Seriously this is rediculously absurd measures!! Be more careful who we vote for in the future!!

This is a fun and enjoyable outdoor social item. It was fine the way it was, just enforce the (old) existing law better. The new law wont change half of the complaints as the violators will break the new law as well. N2C 1V9

Responsible use of firepits should remain a viable pleasure for Kitchener residents.

How do I explain to my children that the city won't allow anymore backyard fires with their friends unless we pay them?

I can understand the restrictions in when firepits can be used but requiring a licence and limiting the number of fires goes too far. It's a bylaw that is unenforceable.
