Common Council has given approval in principle. This change is coming about because of Common Councillor Greg Norton after an 18 year old skateboarder Josh Dillon suffered severe head trauma after falling head first into the pavement.
Norton is hoping the amended bylaw will change of the culture of skateboarding in the city.
Josh, meantime, has had a tough time since suffering his injuries and a section of the amended bylaw will be referred to as Josh's law.
