Tell your friends not to party on Ezra Avenue, Waterloo task force urges St. Patrick's Day revelers Student-led peer pressure ‘the way to go,’ says mayor News Mar 03, 2020 by Bill Jackson Waterloo Chronicle One partygoer tells 570 NEWS she is capitalizing on this change. The Waterloo City Council gave the go-ahead for a St. Patrick’s Day parade during its meeting on Monday night. Not sure what to do for St Patrick's Day 2020? “Some people could die … and we have a media partner that thinks this is a fun event they want to advertise. People around the world love to celebrate their Irish heritage on St. Patrick’s Day, but the holiday falls on a different day of the week every year. Location: Ezra Street, Waterloo Schedule: March 17th 2020 If the task force is successful at integrating the efforts of all those involved, it will result in something dramatically different than what people have witnessed in years past, Delamere said.However Coun. How do we stop that?”Some councillors wanted to know what impact recommendations would have on this year’s St. Patrick’s Day gathering, if any.“We knew we could not have riot police try to control crowds because we’d become known as Hong Kong of Canada, and that’s not what we want,” he said.Tom Berczi, Waterloo Regional Police Service superintendent and task force co-chair, told council planning for this year’s event is already complete and based on a similar model to homecoming, with the expectation the number of people will be more significant.The number of people at last year’s homecoming event was reduced by aligning the date for homecoming with other universities to deter attendance at the street gathering from outside the area, as well as implementing fencing and security pods.Delamere said the task force couldn’t just throw money at the problem and needed to find solutions that were not only feasible, but sustainable.Future implementation of the recommendations will be overseen by the city’s town and gown committee, which reports to council.The task force, which has now been disbanded, involved stakeholders from all three post-secondary institutions, as well as the city and first responders.“I feel that they’ve made it into this no-miss, rite-of-passage event.”“I really think the peer pressure is the way to go,” concluded Jaworsky.There hasn’t been a crisis yet because of good operational management, Delamere noted.Dykstra said he ultimately hopes to see the trajectory change with a decrease in attendees.“We have faced a tremendous issue of potential loss of lives.”Changing the nature of the event includes various actions, from student-led initiatives such as wellness fairs and the mayor engaging local school trustees, to education campaigns that ultimately seek to put an end to the events and curb obnoxious, drunken behaviour.This year’s door-knocking campaign with student volunteers and community partners takes place March 10.Research has shown messages about the risks of attending the gatherings aren’t being taken seriously by students.
Waterloo Regional Police, along with the City of Waterloo, paramedics and the universities spent more than $700,000 to contain and control the St. Patrick's Day street party in 2018. Please note that there will be a mandatory training session for all volunteers (even if you have received training for St. Patrick’s Day in the past) so that we come fully prepared to serve the students best.
“Whether they choose to ignore it is a different thing.”“People are getting hurt; people are ending up in the ICU,” she said. Waterloo Region’s medical officer of health and the chief of the regional police service are urgently warning everyone to avoid gatherings of 250 people or more. How will you define success?”“We believe that harm reduction is essential to solving the public’s issue at hand,” Nip, a fourth year student and volunteer task force member, told council.
