7 h. ago Toronto's rave scene is saved after controversial motion withdrawn at city hall

Toronto's underground music community breathed a collective sigh of relief last week after a controversial proposal that could have restricted dance parties and warehouse raves was withdrawn at city council.The motion, which was introduced by Toronto Centre Councillor Chris Moise, aimed to give the City greater control over applications for temporary liquor licences, which sparked alarm among local artists and ravers."If it passes, it will become even harder to organize the events that bring our communities together, with the power to shut them down potentially resting in the hands of a single councillor," warned a petition titled "Save Our Raves," which quickly garnered support on social media."These spaces are more than just venues. They're where culture is made, where we find each other, where community is built.  If we don't speak up now, we risk losing what's left."    View this post on Instag...
