as the hoses were deployed to put out fire under the hood. No one was hurt in the fire.

ing to sit down and discuss the
closing of The Square or side
streets on an individual event
basis.
"We have supported and will
continue to support many events
that have needed partial or to-
tal closure of the Courthouse
Square," a letter to council read.
"The events have included street
dances, Teddy Bear Parade at the
Children's Festival, the Canada
Day Parade, the Santa Clause
Parade and the new Blues Fes-

Representing over 200 busi-

event planners to develop a plan
that benefits all parties.
