The Docks loses licence over noise complaints

In a precedent-setting move, the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario has revoked the liquor licence of the Docks, a waterfront nightclub and entertainment complex, over noise complaints.
This is the first time the commission has revoked a liquor licence based solely on the issue of noise — a decision that could serve as a warning to other nightclub owners.
The Docks, which can hold 10,000 partygoers, has long been the subject of complaints and frustration from Toronto Island residents, who have waged a 10-year battle to get the facility to turn down the music.
For years, island residents have complained about emotional stress and sleep deprivation due to noise coming from the nightclub — which is located within 750 metres of 250 households on Ward and Algonquin islands.
But come on… seriously… within 750 metres… that’s like people on Queen’s Quay getting all the clubs closed in the entertainment district due to noise… BULLSHIT… fucking move people… and they should know better than to expect quiet anywhere South in Toronto… jackasses… as you can tell I’m pissed about this.
Ughhh
