Bluewater council has approved a list of six important community events for exemptions from certain bylaws.
The events, including Christmas in Bayfield, Bayfield Vette Fest, Bayfield Volkfest, the Bayfield Fair, the Zurich Fair and the Zurich Bean Festival were granted exemptions from noise, hawkers, peddlers, and buskers bylaws during the April 2nd council meeting.
These exemptions are granted because the events are integral to the quality of life in Bluewater, being organized and run by volunteers, open to the community, and held annually or for a long time.
This marks the second time Bluewater has approved such exemptions, streamlining the process for event organizers.
However, fireworks displays at these events will still require authorization from the fire chief.
