CELPIP 7-8 Response To whom it may concern at the government department, This letter is regarding to the noise issue that I have been experiencing lately. I am living at an apartment building next to MacDonald Park in Kingston Ontario. Since April, a lot of teenagers have been meeting in MacDonald Park every night to skateboard. They usually turn up the music and I can hear it at my apartment at level twelve. Occasionally, I hear fireworks too. The noise they produced has been seriously affecting the quality of my sleep. I have not been able to get a good sleep for a month and I had to take sleeping pills. The lack of sleep not only negatively affects my work performance during the day, but also my health and stress level. I strongly recommend the local government to consider restricting the opening hours of MacDonald Park. The park should be closed by nine at night. This will provide the neighbourhood better living environment and avoid unnecessary noise complaints. Thank you. Best regards, Ben J. Fontaine

CELPIP 10-12 Response To whom it may concern, I would like to register a complaint. I currently live in Whistler, a small 3 bedroom house overlooking the village green. We moved here in the fall of 2013 however since then some of the local kids have started meeting up in the park at night and causing a lot of noise. While I feel this would be fine in the early evening, it becomes a problem when it carries on until midnight. Sometimes even later than that! My job requires me to work early mornings, I need to be alert and friendly throughout the day. Being woken up several times throughout the night is definitely having a negative impact on my work performance. While I have tried to ask them to keep the noise down on numerous occasions it has been to no avail. I feel I have no recourse but to contact you now in the hopes that you could enforce some form of curfew on the park. I would suggest no loud noises after maybe 9pm or 10pm. The local residents and myself would much appreciate your consideration on this matter. Regards Gwen T. Alderidge

CELPIP 4-5 ResponseMy opinion is the children should not be use the public transportation. I agree with the field trip and the museums, parks plans because the children need to learn something new things out of the school . I hope the parents will be choose the school buses option, because our kids have to be safety.The public transportation not really safety for the classes or groups.Every kid is different, for example my son many time loose him staff, so if they use the public buses we cannot found. If we will use the school bus all the kids staff can leave it on the bus, and after the trip every parents can helping out packing the kids staff, and nothing loose. Secondly the children are interested for everything, and I worry about. My kid start talking with other people from the public bus...I think, my son not really know who is the bad or good person . Hopefully the parents understand this and we will choose the school buses options

CELPIP 7-8 ResponseIt has come to my notice that some parents whom their kids attend schools where public transportation has been used in conveying their kids for field trips to different parks and museums across the city have echoed their displeasure on such practices. In my own opinion, i strongly support the use of school buses for such trips as it puts the safety of those kids in the hands of the school authorities. Looking at the issue from my own point of view, assuming an accident occurs during one of such road trips, the school management will blame the driver of the public transit or the company that provided the bus for neglect, without taking any of the blame. By using the school bus in lifting those kids, the safety and the drivers skill will never be questioned. It will be the duty for the schools management in ensuring that their drivers are well trained to handle any situation that might cause road accident during any road trip. This will also save money for the school by using their own transportation. At the long run, the school will benefit from such policy.

CELPIP 10-12 ResponseI personally think that it is alright for children to travel on the public transit, since there are always teachers who accompany them for field trips. They will hence be monitored at all times. I think that an education system is not there only for the academic development of a child. An education system is meant to be a complete education package that helps in getting a child ready to step in the world after the school years are done. I believe that when taking the children out for a field trip by taking the public transit, the teachers also get a chance to teach them what to be careful about, for example, they will be taught not to accept gifts from strangers, or not to follow a stranger. These are important life lessons that a child should be taught. Unfortunately, I think that if the children always travel on school buses, they will be over-protected. In the long run, it only makes life harder for themselves when it’s time for them to step in the real world, after school days.
