We the citizens of Newmarket, Ontario, hereby petition the Town of Newmarket, the Region of York and/or the York Regional Police, and whoever else is responsible for the creation, enforcement, redaction and amendments concerning the "Noise Control By-law 2004-94";

We are petitioning for a "general exemption" for the playing of musical instruments.

Such an exemption (with an accompanying "general prohibiton" for playing at night or the early morning) would both allow the citizenship to express themselves while guarding the interests of citizens who require the peace and quiet the Noise Control By-law was set out to protect.
