(2) Picnic Sunday 7th September at Trinity Bellwoods Park

We had a discussion about whether we needed a permit. During a go-around three people argued that as an anarchist organization we should not apply to the city for a permit to use a public park. They gave examples of gatherings done with no permit. Others argued that while there probably would be no problem the aim of this event is not to reclaim public space but to have a safe space for an orientation to the AnarchistU for children and anybody who comes. After some discussion we reached consensus to apply for a permit on this occasion. Sam to contact Parks and Rec. to make the booking.
