Vancouver buskers want to be louder, later
The Downtown Vancouver Business Improvement Association is backing demands by buskers to let them stay out later and play louder in the downtown core.
Under current bylaws, buskers have to stop playing at 10 p.m. PT, and they can’t use equipment to amplify their sound.
Charles Gauthier, executive director of the association, says street performers made the downtown a vibrant scene during the Olympics, and that should be encouraged.
“I think it’s about embracing arts and culture,” he said. “It’s what makes urban environments exciting.” Gauthier is lobbying City Hall for changes to the bylaws.
